Hi I would like to know if someone coul take a real height mesurement with a tape of a 285-70-17 and 35-12.5-17 ... i know they give mesurements on their site but I never bought a tire (atv or car/truck) that have been exactly what manufaturer said.

thanks a lot

 

Don't have those measurements but my 255/85/16s are 33s and measure exactly 33".

 

Mine sure don't measure up to BFG's numbers...315/75/16 = 33.5"?!?!

 

My KM2 35-12.5-17 with 40lbs of air is a little over 33.5", on the tire carrier my unused spare is about 34.5"

 

My 35's are 34inches mounted.

 

40lbs of air??? Goodness.

 

Yeah, I'm trying to get a little better mpg when not wheelin

 

My BFG KM2's 35x12.5x17's measure 33 3/4 setting on the ground with an empty jeep with 35 psi tire pressure.

 

My 285/70-17 measure out to about 31.5 inches on the jeep. I think people tend to forget that measurements on the manufacturers websites are for tires that aren't mounted. With the weight of the vehicle sitting on them they almost never measure out to advertised size.

 

But BFG has a habit of running consistently on the small side when compared with other manufacturers.
