Clarification

The size of the tyre, 900x16, is a tyre that fits a 16 inch rim. The tyre having a 9 inch high side wall, which gives an overall nominal diameter of 9+16+9=34 inches. or in the case of a 10.50 x 16, 10.5+16+10.5= a nominal diameter of 37 inches.
I write this because I believe the article is misleading.
