Hey David. Could be the age of the tire, PSI, the weight from the trailer if you're measuring it installed, a different manufacture, or someone could've measured something wrong. It looks like our Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire - 5.30-12 item # AM10066 measures 21.9" tall when inflated to 80 PSI.
How tall is your 5.30-12 tire and how old is it?
