RED-Z06 2,128 #1 Posted January 14 I know 6.00-12 is about an inch taller than 6-12, and usually a bit thicker, im looking at Carlisle Tru-Power 6-12, Carlisle Farm Specialist R1 6-12, and an offbrand 6.00-12, i can get a pair of any of them around 150 so price is not a big deal. Anyone used these on a round hood, did they fit well? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,939 #2 Posted January 14 I always thought the 6 and 6.00 is the same number just with less numerals as .00 doesn't really add anything to a 6 Different manufactures make them different dimensions for some reason even when they all have the same exact numbers embossed on the sides of them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,816 #15 Posted January 15 (edited) I learned something new today! Generally a 6-12 tire should be 6” wide and 6” either side of the rim high… yielding 6” wide by 24” tall. Funny how advertisements are always allowed a leeway. A 50 gallon water heater is usually about 48 gallons. I’m sure most other manufacturers are allowed to fudge the numbers to fit their advertising. And why wouldn’t tires be the same? I imagine some of the posted numbers aren’t listed with an asterisk, or a certain claimed PSI. Edited January 15 by Pullstart 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
