Maxxis Tire Sizes Suck

I just recently purchase a set of 27" Maxxis Zillas; however, the tires run excatly a full inch short. I heard they run a little short, but a full inch is ridiculous.

If a company advertises a tire as a 27", it seems they should tell their engineers to make it measure close to or exactly 27". Again, a full inch shorter than advertised is terrible.

my zillas ran short i think about a 1/4" on stock wheel i think i'm running 6 psi ish thread wears been good iv owned them for a good 4 yrs now but i don't ride every weekend maybe every other weekend in the summer for a few hrs. i always wished i went with 28" but i was worried about weight with no GR now i have the GR and i wish i went bigger

tire manufactures measure tire height with the max air pressure in them as stated on the sidewall of the tire and the wheel not mounted on the machine

max a/p unloaded

they are idiots :D

I think my 30 inch zillas measure true. If it wasn't snowing I would measure the 26s, 27s, and 30s I have sitting on four wheelers here
