FE - 4 door, LB - 35 inch tires measure 32 inch

[Tunagates]

Hey guys - just getting into off roading…. Got my FE 3 weeks ago… im looking for a spare tire cover and noticed that Ford only has “fits 32 inch”. I then went outside to measure the tire diameter and it’s 32 inches! Am i missing something here??? How are 35 inch tires not anything but 35 inches? Im not at all disappointed w the size/appearance- the look MASSIVE. But why would they call them 35 inches? And furthermore, make it even more confusing by listing the tire cover based on the actual diameter? Really appreciate any insight here

You’re measuring wrong. They are nominal 35s, but measure out to a bit above 34 inflated.

Can you show a photo of your measurement?

Are you Canadian?? Lol

The OP may be measuring the static height of the tire with the weight of the vehicle on it.

Man measure.

They're like TVs, you need to make sure to measure from the diagonal, not the horizontal or vertical.

The GY Territories aren't 35" tires... Closer to 34.5" but definitely not 33's
