And if my work isn't good enough, let's see what Bridgestone/Firestone get when they do the same math.

http://www.bridgestonetire.com/dpp/sizespecs.asp?passproductid=227

215/55-16
Overall Tire Diameter = 25.3"
Static Load Radius = 11.6"

225/50-16
Overall Tire Diameter = 24.9"
Static Load Radius = 11.5"

Seems Bridgestone/Firestone agrees with me on this one.

Remember I got 25.31 (so they rounded to 25.3") for the 215/55 and I got 24.85 (and they rounded up to 24.9") for the 225/50.

So now you have to convince the world that both me and Bridgestone/Firestone don't know how to measure tires.

And I'm sure I can find another tire maker and look at his products as well, and find nearly the same numbers.

FWIW,
