First- a lot of people are going to say "i told you so" about what im doin, but i dont want to hear it!

Ok, im "looking into" upgrading to a 3" body lift and putting some 33's on. After seeing that PAExplorer had to trim a whole lot and Lefy barely trimmed anything i started doing research. Erics BFG MT's are 32.8x?? and Lefy's Pro Comp MT's are 32.5 x 10.1... so I came to the conlcusion that in order to keep my trimming to a minimal Im staying away from tires that are true 33's and leaning towards a set like Lefy's...

Now, in my quest for the perfect 33" tire for me (id like 32.5x12.00) i checked out the Pro Comp Xterrains... can someone please tell me WHY they're 33x12.50 is listed as 31.4x10.9 ???

Xterrain Sizing Chart
 






i have built many a 33 Xterrain, and i can tell you from making 300-350 a day of them they are around 32.something tall. the 31.4 is either a typo or..... well.... a typo. :)
 






When comparing tire sizes, don't forget to take into account rim size. This will affect overall height. A 33x12.50R16 will be taller than the exact same brand/type in a 33x12.50R15.
