Default Mickey Thompson Actual Tire size when inflated?

Can you tell me what size Mickey Thompson tires you are running and ALSO give the actual size when inflated?


I saw a set of 35" MTZ'S today, and I swear up and down they looked like 33's.

So if I got 33x12.50x17 I should expect about 32.25 or so?

My 35 inch brand new spare MT baja Atz measures 33.5. A rip off in my opinion!

you will find virtually all tires run short.

My Rubi take offs are supposed to be 32s but are actually under 31
Toyo m/t 37" actually 36"
Goodyear mt 37 actually under 36
Irok 36" actually a hair under 35"

I might start looking more at 37'' when I start looking for a 35'' tire.

That makes it really hard for me to decide if I want 33's or 35's. I was planning on getting 33's and just running a leveling kit. I don't want to do too big right now, this is my DD but I have to get rid of those 255/75 SRA's. Those just don't look right on a jeep.

But hell if a 33 measures 32.5 or so, and a 35 measures 33.5.....I'm just going to go with a 33.
