I am analyzing larger tires. These things are all over the place. Tire calculators show a 285/65R18 as 32.5 by 11.22. However if you look at the manufacturer sizes on say the Nitto Trail Grappler 285/65R18 versus firestone dest. m/t - one is 32.93 by 11.93 and firestone is 32.8 by 11.5 and the duratrac 295/65R18 is 33.1 by 11.8. What the F. Then a Duratrac 275/70R18 is 33.2 x 11.
Can anyone shed light on this. Also any thoughts on a 285/65/R18 vs a 275/70R18? Would you go for the definite 33 in a narrower tire or would you go slightly shorter but wider?
I want the tallest/widest tire I can put on with a Readylift 2.25 front and rear. I want a true 33 not a 32.5. This makes it very difficult to decide. I don't even want to get into the cost factor..yet.
