It's still a work in progress of course. And always will be...

I also have an Edgestar in my trailer; it was under $275 delivered and is still working fine.

Where did you get it for $275 delivered?!

Compact Appliance ---- they were running a sale and I used the Windows Shop thing and got a check back for $27 + change.
Got it in 3 days from Texas with free shipping. Not sure how much they are now though.
This was the 43, btw.

Here's how I was always taught to convert metric to standard tire size. Let's take a 275/65r18

275 mm = 10.83 inches -This is the width
65% of 10.83 = 7.04 inches - This is the side wall height
2x the side wall height + the wheel diameter = the total diameter
(2x7.04)+18=32.08

As the true size comes from the manufaturer, you should always check there numbers first, but this will always get you a very close approximation.

A good tire size calculator:

And tire manufacturers are very optimistic about their sizing.

I just checked the Compact Appliance website; looks like they no longer sell the 12 volt fridges with compressors.

That's the big one. Wonder why I couldn't find it on my search....

Math make Hilldweller's head hurt. Hilldweller like pictures, like tools, like bacon, like pretty girls. Not like math.

OK, here is a dumb question; how did you calculate that?

Copied it from the Goodyear website

Um, yeah, I'm real observant today...Totally missed it...

I'm starting to rethink my tire choice. I have 4.10 gears and based upon the reading I have been doing; without regearing, should I go to a maximum of 33" tires?

Everytime I start reading, I get confused about gearing v.s. tire size. I could use some help on this one!
