i really doubt they are 29"
considering your average N50-15 was 28.5 max. And that was about a 275 or 285 size at least
They are probably somewhere about 26.5.
And since the average height was proably about 25, I would at that your about 5percent higher than a 3.73. Ballpark 3.55-3.6

according to

a 255/60-15 is 27inchs tall.
