Swampy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hey guys. Been looking at tires recently. I wanted to get a set of 33x12.5x17 or 305/70r17. I know according to manufactures they should be close to there actual specs at max psi but we all know they mostly run a tad smaller. My question is if I am looking for a set of 33-34" tires that are as close to that measurement, should I run a bigger size (for example a 35x12.5x17 bfg km2 because it'll actually be a 33) or should I just stick with the sidewall number (33x12, 285/70, 305/70 etc.)?

HOrnbrod Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 They are all different, i.e. some 33" manufacturer's tires are taller than 33", some are under. Decide on which tire you want, go to TireRack.com, search for that tire, then look at the specs. One of the entries will be the actual diameter of the tire.

Jeep Driver Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 What's your objective? Width or height or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for a 33-34" tire. But would like a nice ratio of width and height. I like the kanati's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
