I started out with Nitto Terra Grapplers, 295/70.17, 33.3" x 11.50, I have them for sale now with over 80% tread left because I was so anxious to move up. Now on 315.70.17, 34.6x11.50 Hankook Dynapro MT's, these seem to measure out real close true to size.:thumbsup:

i second that im allready looking at replacements for my 33'' .A 33'' in a reg 2 door looks fair but in a 4 door i find it looks small ..imo

My Cepek FC-II's are aaaalmost a full 33. Not quite though. I spent a while looking at 33's because I wasn't going right to 35's. The Cooper STT's I had on my TJ ran a little small. Cooper makes Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek and I think all of theirs run small (from what I've seen when shopping around). Toyo makes Nitto and I think they both run more true to size. Goodyear has a Kevlar MT that's just over 33 too. Those were all the brands I shopped with.

Cepek's website says the 33x12.5x17 are 32.6 and I believe it. I'm happy with them though for whatever it's worth. This is on a 2" kit. And the 9 on the tape measure would've been 33". Good luck.

I agree. My other thing that held me back was I have 3.21 gears. But on this note my buddy has the cod mw3 rubicon 4dr. With. Stock 32's. i told him if he went up it would be useless pretty much to go 33. And does look small on 4dr. If I could do it again and had 4dr I'd jump to 35 with at least 3.73 or 4.10

BFG KM2 305/70/R17 on 17x9in wheel = 33.5 x12 w 30psi. Here's mine w 2.5 RK lift. BTW, a KM2 35x12.5/R17 measures so close to my 305/70/r17's, there is no visable difference w the naked eye. Parked beside a JK last week and would have swore he had the same size as I untill I read his tire size. Just thought I'd share this.

Hankook Dynapro M/T 285/70/17 ....... true 33 inch tire. I have these tires and I love them. I'm waiting for them to wear out so I can get the 35's.

I could have gotten a set of 37's for $275 a tire through a local place that was trying to get rid of them about 6 months ago. Kicking myself for not jumping on that deal. Great looking tire.
