Dcmgt ... you asked about circumference of the 245/295 ... 15" Avons . I just measured the front ( 245`s ) at 81 1/2" for the LF and 81 5/8" for the RF at 26 psi . When I get the time , I`ll measure the rears .

Thanks Bob. Your fronts end up being nominally 25.96" tall, vs the 26.7 or whatever you see listed in the literature/websites. Goes to show you how you can't go by the published numbers. It will be interesting to see what your rears come in at.

Jamo, just got the AVON's on my Kirkham, same size as your's. Are you still running 28psi or have you lowered the pressures? I called Krauss and they said 26 front and 25 rear.
