Kind of an odd question but,
could some one tell me the diameter of a 2 1/2 ton truck and a jeep tire in 1/35 scale?

Thank you.

Bill,

Most of the trucks of that time ran on what is called tall rubber by us now. 10-24-75 tire size, with the 24 being the height. 24 inches in 1/35th scale is 22/32 of an inch. Or .686 in decimal measurement. A jeep would have a 10-20-70 tire and would thusly be 7/16ths of an inch or .438 decimal.

Hope this helps out.
