What size tire are you running?

[BigAl]

We've had several threads lately which have gotten into the topic of ideal tire size. I'm curious what people are using. What do you have on your offroad, overland, trail, or expedition vehicle? You metric guys please estimate in inches.

 

[Scott Brady]

Tacoma- 33.3" (255/85 R16)
Trooper- 31" (265/70 R16)
Discovery- 30" (soon to be 31" equiv.)

 

[IH8RDS]

Cherokee-- 31"

I didn't consider multiple vehicles, you'll have to average

Maybe it should be what tire "height", as opposed to size, as there are many variations in size/width (if people post the actual sizes like Scot did it will be interesting). For example there is a noticeable difference between a 33x12.50, 285/75R16, and 255/85R16, all "33s" but the section width can be quite different (approx. 12.5, 11.5, 10).

For me:

33: 255/85R16 on 4Runner
32: 265/75R16 on F350, soon to be replaced with 255 and 285 33s.
33: 255/85R16 Chaser

So should we round up or down, BigAl?

I have heard my 285/75/16's which are equal to 32.8", referred to as 32's by some people and 33's by others.

With 38K on them now, they are closer to 32" than 33" I guess....

37's soon to be 35's on my '85 4runner

So should we round up or down, BigAl?

let's use USP rounding rules: (.1 to .4 = truncate, .5 to .9 = round up)

I use both these trucks offroad, but mostly the jeep

I meant height but I can't edit the title

 

[AFSOC]

Scout II - 31x10.50
Cherokee - 30x9.50

 

[Brett M]

Cherokee = 33"

Might got to 35's someday.....
