So I made some quick and rough measurements of the different tires tonight. The old 9.00-16 M37 tire, which is similar to the CMP 9.00-16 has a tread width of about 7.5", and an overall height of about 33". That is mounted on a cmp rim.
I measured a G-wagon tire mounted on a 16" truck rim. It had a tread width of about 6.5", and a height of about 32".
Just for fun I also measured a set of the STA chevron 10.50-16 tires mounted on CMP rims. They had a tread width of about 9.5", and a height of about 36".
Personally I like the smaller G wagon tire as opposed to the baloonish LSVW michelin tires. I especially do not like the early LSVW tire. But to each his own I guess.
