Bob,

I don't think that any of the tires had a 100% aspect ratio but maybe they
did?

I took an empirical approach and did my check the old fashioned way.  I
used a 5.60-14 tire and a tape measure.  The tire had a lot of tread left
but was used and could have been a bit larger before.  The tape measure
said 77-3/32" for the circumference.  I divided the circumference by pi and
the result was 24.54 diameter.
