The intent here is to create a list of tires in a size ranking. Since I cannot ensure each tire is measured the same way or on the same rim, at same pressure, etc. my goal is strictly to quantify them in relative comparisons to one another. If we know A > B and B > C then we can list them as A, B, C as a ranking of large to small even if the A-B and B-C comparisons aren't the same. We need only ensure that any given comparison occur on same rim and at the same pressure for each tire in that comparison. I believe this is necessary both for overall tire diameter as well as tire width.
Here is what I have culled from various threads, and if there is an omission or an error just please post and I can update the list accordingly (I expect there WILL be errors, so please point them out and help make this a great reference).
Diameter, from largest to smallest:
Not ranked for diameter:
Schwalbe Rocket Ron 2.25 (Pacestar: 463 g - 528 g)
Width, from widest to narrowest:
Not ranked for width:
