I have the 33x12.50x17 with 27000 plus miles on them and they still look great. 10/32 worth of tread left. These are by far the best wearing m/t I've owned.

 

I had about 26K on mine and i think i could have probably got another 8 to 10k out of them. The only problem i ever had was cupping. That was only because i didnt rotate properly. The tire guy told me that to keep a mud tire in good shape to rotate every 3000. I didnt think they were very niosy for a mud tire either. I got them in my gallery on my black truck if you need a pic.

 

MacsFX4 has by far the best pictures of these tires. Anyone else have any good and clear shots? I think I have decided on the 305/60/18s, I did a photo shop of the wheels I want and I want to photoshop the tires on but I need to get a good angle ( searched hard, cant find one ). If anyone wants to help me out by taking a pic of their truck at this angle in similar lighting it would be much appreciated. I have the wheels photoshopped, just need a good shot of someones tires!

 

I don't know about you, but I hated the 285/70R17 size, not the diameter, but I was really wanting the 12.5" width. The 285s always seemed too narrow to me.. Especially driving on the beach where extra width would have provided additional flotation across the sand...

FWIW, if I were buying tires again, and couldn't fit 35x12.50s, I would go with 33x12.50s... The '04-08 wheel wells look empty to me with anything smaller...

 

Yeah I realized that now. I've gained much more knowledge about tires since that previous post. And my mind is constantly changing but I believe I have a chosen set now, and I want 305/60/18 STTs. They're 32.64" tall ( 33 to the eye ) and 12.1" wide, 33x12.5 isn't available in 18" so thats the next best thing, and I dont want the massive 325s.

 

Sounds like a pretty good setup...
