200 tire

Did someone just ask who makes the bigest 200mm tire? I must be drunk cause i must be mistaken. You, my friend have just won the stupidest mf of the year award.
A 200mm tire will always measure 200mm across the width of the tire. A 200mm tire would have to be a 201mm to be fatter. Common sizes are 190, 200 240, 300, 360. The series, would be the thickness of the tire. Example a 30 series 200 mm tire would be a 200mm wide tire with no side walls. Most bikes run a 70 series or so.

Don't know but I've been looking for the longest foot long hotdogs for my annual 4th of July party
200 is 200 Rock, it doesn't matter.

Doesn't Michelin make the widest 200mm, with Toyo a close second with 200mm?

Not always.... Yes, the standard is just as everyone has pointed out. However, some of our O.E.M tires are larger than the 190mm advertised. I.E. Shows 190/50/17, but measures a true 198mm wide. So, I think what I hear being asked is are there manufactures who also do this with their standard line of tires. I don't know of any personally but that doesn't mean they don't exist...200 is 200 no matter what brand you choose.

At least with car tires, not all tires are created equal, and the sizes aren't alwaya apples to apples
A 325 Mickey Thompson Drag Radial measures more like 350mm+ across.
I have seen 275 street tires vary like an inch from one brand or product line to another.

Swampers are one that come to mind...
I still believe that most tires will adhere to the standard sizing charts, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were no known anomalies.
On a off note, 195/70/17 can be found in a road race configuration..
So, I guess anything is possible.

I know there are differences in size between makes and models of tires. I don't know the answer to the question, but I know that in the truck tire world one company may put out a 33" tire that is virtually identical in size to other 35" tires.

Swampers are exactly what I was thinking of.
