My BFG's measure pretty close to spec for 'height'. However height is
measured with no vehicle sitting on the tire making that flat spot....
Or I can measure it side to side with the vehicle sitting on it and get
the 'length' of the tire which is closer to spec.

Talk to any woman about this. Males usually add an inch or two to any
length measurement. Some quote a lot more. ;^)
