235x75x15 = 28.9" tall, 9.3" wide with a section height of 7". I'm assuming they were talking about the section height - which if you double that and add the rim diameter you'll get the tire height...

Check out 4lo for a metric calculator - lot's of places actually have them - I just tend to go there because I know where it's at.

Got mine put on Monday...

So far they ride a hell of a lot smoother than my old TrXus MTs. Haven't taken them through the mud or over the rocks yet, but they seem to do fine in the rain and handle well on snow and ice. Took less weight to balance than the swampers, and so far I'm pretty pleased.

I've been able to put quite a few miles on these in the snow lately and I'm very impressed with their performance. I have yet to find a surface that these tires have issues with, even on ice they work better than anything else I've experienced.
I was also able to spend some time in the desert snow with them. We found some deeper drifts and just powered right through them. Once you found the right RPM's (~2500?) you could feel it hook up and start pulling.
Now I just need to find some time to play on the rocks!
P.s. Here's the real snow traction test - my 16 year old won't even drive the WJ because it grips to good in the snow

I've been putting the miles on these babies lately, and I'm impressed. They seem to go good in the snow, have handled well through some shallow mud, and climbed a slimy hill that gave me problems on my half-bald TrXus MTs without hesitation. They're SO much quieter on the road too, and what little vibes I got from the Intercos is now gone. I was was pulling a 1-ton chassis around yesterday and acting as its brakes (since it had none) and to get it squared up to the garage I had to back straight up a steep embankment with the weight of that beast on my front tow hooks... rolled right up without a problem.
I was able to take these off-road yesterday on a local trail run. We experienced washboard roads, sand, mud and rocks. The tires continually amaze me with their performance. It wasn't an extreme trail run so I only aired down to 25 psi but they performed flawlessly. On the washboard roads they soaked up the bumps pretty good with no issues. Didn't experience a lot of sand but it did well in that.
They did awesome in both the mud and rocks. Only went through the mud a couple of times and it wasn't that deep but it was pretty slimy and they pulled me right through without issues. We had to go through a few little rock piles and up a pretty steep hill that was full of loose rocks and a few big ones. 2/3'rds of our group had issues going up the hill but I just through it in 4lo and walked right up (could've been the driver though
) with no issues - I barely even spun a tire!
Not the best example of the hill. The loose rock was at the bottom and the bigger rocks were at the top. The part of the trail you can see in this picture (between the JK and TJ) was the easiest part.

Which of the treadwrights did you get? I need new tires soon and want bigger but I am thinking 31" might have to do for now..
