Default 33's actaully measure 31"? Procal question

I ordered a procal to help with the shift points on my Jk 2dr and went I went to measure it seems like the 33x12.5/15 duratracs only measure out to about 31" I am running 31psi.

Does anyone know what the factory settings are for stock sahara duelers. I purchased the procal mostly for shift points but if it is set for 31 from the factory maybe I just wasted my money.

I don't think that you wasted your money. I like the Duro's better. Not sure about OEM specs. But any tire "mounted" will be shorter than "dismounted". Just sell the tires you don't like.

I love the duratracs and the look of the vehicle. I was wondering if I wasted my money on the procal becuase the main reason I bought it was for the shift points. If the computer is already programmed for 31's there might not be anything to change.

He means wasting money on the Pro-Cal.

I'd suggest running by a dealership with a tape measure on your way home from work and checking it out.

My 255/75/17 SRA's measure 31.5 inches.

Gotcha! The OEM tires are 32". OP says the Duro's are 33". So -

My Duratracs actually are measuring 31". Maybe because I am only running 31psi. If they are the same size or possibly smaller than stock, this may defeat the purpose.

The OEM's are manufacturer speced at 32". The Duratracs manufacturer spec is 33". This small of a change is debateable on the recal. But for me, there wouldn't be a debate. Keep the new stuff.

What is your actual tire size? I didn't think Duratrac made a 33 in an 17 or 18" wheel...
