Follow up dyno thread: tire diameter on hp numbers

Alright let’s beat this to death a little more. How does ss tire size vs 1le tire size effect hp numbers? And does the size need to be inputted into the computer

275/40r20 = 28.66 inches tall
285/35r20 = 27.85 inches tall

Could this account for a 30-40 hp difference?

I was under the impression this is exactly like gearing. In other words, no. It shouldn't make any difference in measured HP. Just one wheel size will spin faster than the other.

There is no way less than one inch in tire diameter would be worth 30-40 HP

Some on here believe the faster spinning is the entire point though
