Does anyone happen to know if an AT4 20" Wheel with stock tire would fit in the spare carrier location?

I did the math on the wheel and tire diameter the other day. For those with 20s, the difference between the spare tire diameter and the regular tire and wheel was a matter of 0.9mm.

....if my math is correct,

Could I figure out how much thrust a rocket needs to orbit earth? No.

Can I add 1 and 1 to get the result of 2? Yes.

My math skills are somewhere in between.

The real question is, did I calculate the sidewall of the tire correctly? Many people think it's a measurement of how many millimeters tall the sidewall is. It's actually a percentage in relation to the width of the tread.

For example 275/65x18 doesn't mean the tire is 275mm wide, 65 mm tall, and fits on a 18 inch wheel. It actually means the sidewall is 65% of 275, which is 275×.65=178.75. You then add 18 inches to the 178.75×2. I recommend coverting the inches into millimeters. 178.75×2 is so that you can get the measurement for diameter. The other way is to calculate the radius. In which case the formula is 178.75+((18÷2)×25.4)=radius. Radius times 2 = equals diameter.

I'm not a genius. I just play one on the internet. I could very well be wrong. But, whatever you do, don't divide by 0. I've been told the world will explode.

That's a lot of work, i just use the calculators online ?

But good explanation that i had been wondering lately. Never understand why they could just use 35/12.50/20 for all tire sizes. 

Much easier for my brain to comprehend.

At least you're not another one of those dumb middle aged lazy white guys. We already have a bunch of them in society.

Oh, wait! I resemble that statement. Fml! [emoji22]

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I lacked the motivation to pick my phone up off the table that's next to the couch seat I'm sitting in.

You know what they say about assuming? It makes an ASS out of U and ME. I'm already an ass, so i has 5/6ths of that covered in my end alone.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
