2.75X21 is the sectional width and is for a 21 inch rim. Height on this type of tire is normally 92% of the width. So, 2.53 high. So if you add 2.53 inches to the 21 inches. Oh wait. You have to multiply the height times two, because the tire, as you look at it on the motorcycle has a top, and a bottom. So 2.53 X 2 =5.06 inches, right? And now we add the rim size of 21 inches to the 5.06 and we get 26.06 inches. We now know the diameter of the wheel with the tire mounted. Those Shinko 244's look really good to me, Sincerely, ARH
