The metric sizes tend to run small. The domestic sized tires 35 X 12.5 tend to be noticeably larger. Especially width wise.
A guy I wheel with bought some 315 / 70 / 17 thinking they were 35's. Once mounted, they did look closer to a 33 than a 35. He dumped them after a couple weeks and ordered 35 X 12.5.
It also depends on tire manufacturer -- BFG tends to run the smallest. GY tends to run closer to stated size.

I have good year Kevlar's and they are 315/70-17 and they measure very close to 35 mounted but I do keep them aired rather high at 35 psi. Most people on here I notice run around 28 psi.
