Both tires are same size - 240 Not mounted on rims.

In your opinion which one appears larger?

A or B

Are these tires mounted to wheels?

If not, are the beads the same distance apart?

As they sit, the left tire looks 1/2 flat, but slightly wider IMHO.

Tire on the left appears to be a little larger. That would be "A".

 

[CBSIMONSEZ]

they both appear to be the same width. Tire B has a more rounded look to it. I would think that tire B would be more of a performance tire based on that fact.

Well tire B is a Metzler 880 XXL... when it is mounted it will give the appearance that it is wider... if you are looking for taller then go with A.

TIRE B in both pictures looks wider. Mental is smart and placed a piece of paper top and bottom to take out the curve and direct my eye on width only, taking out the optical illusion. Try it!.

Tire A looks wider, but just due to tread pattern and crown?

Cropping in photoshop says the Metzeler is 4% wider and 1.5% taller than the Dunlop. So now lets have some pics with them mounted on 8.5" rims assuming they are both intended for 18" wheels. . So what are you up to Taz ???

I am up to about 5'6" give or take an inch or so...
You are correct, 18" on a modified RC rim.
Been finishing up the bike. Last thing left is the pipes which are being fabricated as I type. When rim returns from its mod and installed she shall be done.
Trust all is well on your end...

Tire B... think you took my idea of modifying an RC components rim to a 7" rim... jackass... lol
