Default True tire size?

Im gonna buy some Pure Sport Bandits (front and rear) and was wondering if anyone had measured them to see if they were actually the advertised size. I want some 20x10x10 rears and some 21x7x10 fronts. I dont want to buy a 20in tire and get an 18 or smaller tire. I would check with my dealer or local atv shop but none of them carry the tire, its a special order item [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Some tires are not really the size they are advertised as. Compare a goodyear with a michellin or some other brand and you will see that the "same" size is actually a bit different.

Maybe a little bit, not so much it will be noticeable. A 20 in tire is a 20 in tire

Just curious, why bandits? When I researched opinions on this forum everyone said they, well, suck.

I like the way they look and some guy just told me they work great on hard pack and on rocks. That is what I mostly ride on....and I think Zombie had bandits on his sweet LE Raptor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I loved those pics...sure wished I had those two

Not all tires measure up to there number. I have 3 different 22" tires that only measure 21", there are Kenda Bearclaws, Spidertraks, and Maxxis all-traks. However my 22" ITP Holeshots do measure 22". So untill you get, you won't know. But don't be suprised if they don't.
