I got a set from Jegs. Advertised rollout is 110. They are marked as 114.5.

I’m replacing a set of 34.5-17-16s. These new tires look huge next to the old ones. I’m a little worried they won’t fit under the car after I get the mounted. I’m tempted to call jegs and ask for them to swap but not sure if the 114.5 is typical?

the chalk is just measuring the expansion or growth of the tire not roll out

After a tire is cured, it is removed from the press and placed on a machine called a "post-inflator". On this machine each tire has air injected into it for a set period of time. The amount of air is determined by the engineering department and is not the same for every type of tire Hoosier produces. After a set time period, a tire is then measured and the circumference is recorded. Then a press operator writes the size on the side of treaded tires and on the tread of slicks, in chalk. All Hoosier bias ply tires with a chalk-mark, follow this same process.
