View Full Version : 33x9.5 Spare rpenner54 03-23-1999, 09:26 PM Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a 33x9.5 spare tire in the stock location? If anyone has any info on this please let me know. ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport James 03-24-1999, 08:47 AM where did you find a 33/9.50. what brand of tire is it. I was wanting 31's on my 95 explorer, but they said that it would scrub if i turned sharp. I'm running 30/9.50 now and they do great. bachelor25 03-24-1999, 09:42 AM James, Several manufacturers make a 33x9.5 tire. I know BFG, Yokohama, Dunlop, and many others that have that offering. It's specifically suited for clearance issues and a better mud/snow tire as it has the ability to "dig" into the mud/snow for traction better than a wide "floating" tire. ------------------ Cheers, Andrew B. 1996 Ford Explorer 4x4 (slightly modified) BC, Canada rpenner54 03-24-1999, 11:38 PM I found that there is a BFG Mud-Terrain that is made at 33x9.5 ------------------ Ryan Penner 1992 Explorer Sport bachelor25 03-25-1999, 09:49 AM Ryan, I regards to your original question: I've got a 30x9.5 A/T spare (from my first set of tires) in the spare tire location now. It fits without any trouble. So as for width you're ok, but I don't know about the extra 3" diameter? ------------------ Cheers, Andrew B. 1996 Ford Explorer 4x4 (slightly modified) BC, Canada bachelor25 03-25-1999, 09:50 AM Ryan, I regards to your original question: I've got a 30x9.5 A/T (from my first set of tires) in the spare tire location now.
