Default 380x150x5.00 question

Can anyone please give me the outside diameter of the 380X150X5.00 tire. I need this info before I buy a set.
Also can the "leak proof" inner tubes from my old 5X5X5 tires work on these?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a link to the Goodyear Aircraft Tire Data Book:

http://www.goodyearaviation.com/reso...edatabook.html

It has the OD and lots of other really useful information. Since the tires are a different size, I think I'd go with a set of new, non-stretched-out tubes.

Default Diameter

If you can find the diameter from top to bottom measurement multiply that by 3.14 and that will be the diameter..

Just fitted up mine the other day.
D=14 3/4" (On the bench, inflated 25 PSI).
As I understand. Most people use their 5x5 Leakguard tubes.

RV3bpilot I think meant to say you can find the circumference from the diameter, (C=Pi x D) or visa versa, (D=C/Pi)

Paul.
