Rollout tells you the Height a 28 but actually a true 27".
Take The Rollout number and divide by 3.14 and that gives you its height. So 88" Divided by 3.14 is 28 so the tire is 28" Tall.
95" Rollout 95÷ 3.14 = 30.25 height.
The way skat trak measures the Rollout of any tire on the Buffing Wheel is at a standard 15Lbs of air pressure. Then they mark the tire with white crayon on the sidewall. A STU blaster 28" has 86" of Rollout on the seam.
So please dont show your ignorance by saying Rollout doesn't mean anything. Lol

It's just a long way to get to the height... But on a RZR it doesn't mean anything.

Why would tire height not mean anything on a sxs. To small a Tire and the Car will bottom out. To tall of a tire it can rub. RZRs need a Taller tire for duning or they will case out. That's why DMC sells those shock candy spacers that go on the shock shafts ,so the car doesn't hit the ground with undersized tires. Guys that Run STU blasters hit the ground so he made those to stop it from hitting. The problem is you lose your shock travel. So if you run a 30" tire you won't hit ground and you can use all of your suspension travel. Running a larger tire also helps give a better ride over the choppy bumps and holes. Rollout (Tire Size) Matters.lol

Height does, exact roll out doesn't. Roll out is used to calculate gear ratios so you have the right rpm at a certain mph like fit drag racing. Height is to keep your ass from bumping the ground.

LMAO. OK class. Listen up. Roll out or a tires height is found 2 ways.
88"÷3.14 = 28.025 so that is a 28" Tall Tire.
30"×3.14 =94.2 Rollout , those are ways to figure out Tire size height.
We use Rollout in as the true measurement of tires and there true height. Tim only sells tire packages with more Roll out on the front tires so AWD stays engaged better. Running tires on the front of your RZR that are shorter or I will say have less roll out than the rears is not gonna work with your RZR AWD system that's why roll out matters. The RZR Hilliard system only engages when the the rear tires slip 20% more than the front tires. So if you have smaller front tires than the rear it's hard to engage properly.

All I know is the larger tire size helps roll over the bumps and can give you more ground clearance.

Rollout is just another term for tire size. But the rollout should be measured at the tire pressure most will end up running, which is around 10psi.

Those skats feel like bricks at 15psi, as does any paddle tire on a SXS at 15psi

I rarely bottom out with my time 28" blaster set up.

You forgot about a simple tape measure... Plus the reason I know roll out isn't important you said look for 92" to 97" that's a 5" variance so the actual number isn't that important except to match tires to make a set and you only have that much variance in a skat type tire. Molded tires are more uniform, they are easier to replace it you damage one etc.

For height you aren't going to say run anything from 27" tall to 32" tall (same 5" variance) because actual height is more important than actual roll out.

Your a fuckin idiot. We make the roll out in different sizes for reasons I already mentioned. Your a dumb sumbitch.

You're so predictable... You talk shit but won't back it up. It's a standing offer to run though the dunes any time you're ready... Until then you are all talk.

You are a waste of time, after listening to your dribble why would anyone take you serious. I can't be responsible for you getting hurt son.
