Tire Height Chart???

This is a follow up regarding a thread I just started called "Lesson Learned". I just didn't want this to get lost in the other thread.

I had a major problem with tire/fender clearance on a recent trip regarding mud. I'm riding a 2005 or 2006 Trek 520 with wide Planet Bike fenders. I put on Continental Top Contact 700x37 tires and thought that all was well until mud occurred and the lack of sufficient clearance ruined my ride.

I don't think that I can raise the fenders as they are at their limits, so I need to "lower" my tires. I know that 35's (not made by Continental in the Top Contact) or 32's will have a lower profile but is there a chart anywhere that compares various tire HEIGHTS regarding different widths across tire brands and for different tire brands?

Thanks for any help or advice.
