Default can someone measure there 285/70/17 duratracs?

just wondering if someone could measure their mounted 285/70/17 duratracs on there unlimited. I am wondering the height difference between them and my stock 255/75/17. not sure if I want the 265's or 285's. I want to stay as close to the stock height as possible. also if someone could measure their 265 duratracs.
Thanks

Does it give the actual/true size as they sit on a vehicle at the recommended air pressure?

Go under SPECS and it gives you all the information your looking for.

thanks for the help, but I am looking to the actual measurements on the vehicle, not what is listed by the manufacturer.

I have 315/70/17 duratracs. my mounted on vehicle measured height is ~1" lower than the specs that GY says.

I bet it would be very close to the same on the size you are looking at. So 32's?

When I recalibrated my speedo with my Flashpaq for my 33's, it takes actual tire size. My Duratracs measured in at 31.75" w/ ~ 35psi and speedo checked dead on.
