Anyway, here is a few links with regards to 'not all same size tyres are the same size'. Open to critisim here... after all... its the internet. I have focused on the Sumitomo and Goodyear GSD3 as this is what I was looking at comparing.

Then also a pic of mine with 285 40 17 on 10 3/4 rim.

Thanks Leroy,

The proof is in the pudding.

Could you post a pic of the back wheel and tyre taken side on which also shows the top of the tyre and the bottom of the guard please?

I'm interested in the gap between the top of the tyre and the bottom edge of the guard.
