   Tire manufacturers would have this as it would be the same as the inner   
   build die they use when laying up a tire. However the number would vary   
   a lot because of the myriad of sizes, Take a 205 75R 15, it would have a   
   larger surface area than a 205 60R 15 simply due to the aspect ratio change.
