*Correction - First off I apologize for the misinformation on stating how the sizing works. It is metric in millimeters: Example 285/70R17
The section width (285) is the width of the tire from one sidewall to the other measured in millimeters. The aspect ratio (70) refers to the height of the sidewall, and it is 70% of the section width. So a 285/70 will be 285mm (11.20") wide with the sidewall height is 70% of the 285 section width which equals 199.5mm (7.85") of sidewall height. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire's sidewall will be.
Thank you for correcting yourself, was about to blast ya ;)
Probably time to correct the title too. You've got a bunch of widths vs a height.
No Cooper STT PRO quite shocked at that to be honest they are very good in my opinion
Great video!! Let me know what you think of my videos!
FREEDOMEDIA Maybe you have BF Goodrich KM3 305/60R18 and 33x12.50R18 tires in stock and maybe you can put these two tires side by side to see which one is wider?
Thanks
Seeing a mud tire with a 24” wheel physically pains me. They shouldn’t exist.

Good video. It’s always nice seeing actual visual comparisons.
Thanks buddy, it definitely helps when you see them side-by-side, even without inflated
I put the passenger rated 285 70 17 ridge grapplers on my fj with venomrex wheels. Only lost .5 mpg. Nice ride and handled recent snow very well. Highly recommend
Not even a 33" though....
285/70r17
285/25.4 = 11.25
11.25x.7 = 7.75 side wall
17 wheel plus 7.75 plus 7.75 = 32.5 tall tire.
285 is the section width, next number is aspect ratio, what percent of the width is the sidewall. Times that by two, there are 2 sidewalls and add wheel. BOOM tire height
Finally some one came with the magic formula...hahahaha thank you very much!!
Thanks Andrew
Thanks for taking the time to show us so many side by side. Really was here to see 37s like km3, vs Toyo mt, vs mickey Thompson. Really looking for the width of tread and full tire comparison part.
Thanks for the great Comparisons really helped me make up my mind with 305/70/16 BFGoodrich mud terrain.
Right on bro. Glad it helped
I got 305/70r17 today. Mud terrain. Love the look.
I had a set of KM2 tires, they didn't last nearly as long as my KO2. I daily drive my 4Runner, don't really see me going MT tires anymore. I've run KO2 quite a bit at Moab and they work great. I can get 60K out of KO2's
I only got 21000 out of my ko2s. Never again
I'd love to see a comparison between 285/75/17, 285/70/17, 295/70/17 and 305/70/17
Thanks for the request Mark, we sometimes get customers wanting the 285/75R17 but none in stock currently. Will do once we get another set on hand
Mark Miguel Freedomedia I would like to see this too but ad in the BFG KO2 in 34 x 10.5 x 17
FREEDOMEDIA I would like to see the BFG KO2 in "34 x 10.5x 17"

@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 Us as well! That's a rare size
I am running 31x12.50 15c interco super swampers on my 92 f150 xlt lariat 5.8L flareside and I love them.
I don't get how you can compare tires of different sizes. You have different rims sizes. The tires will be different size. If you use on 16 inch rims or say 18inch rims. Then do your 265-285-305-315 etc. It's very misleading. When you have different rims sizes. If I'm shopping tires only. My rims are a set size. If your looking for tires. Then buying rims to fit. That's the cart before the horse. But you put a 17" tire next to a 20" tire. The center of the 20 is bigger to start with. It's like comparing a Honda to a Cadillac!
After switching to mud grapplers, I no longer need to use my front or rear lockers. Tires no longer slip. At all. They are heavier. They are loud, but not bad. Mpgs are affected by 2-3 on road; on trail no change. They last as long as other tires if you maintain them. I’ll probably run them again. They just hook up like nothing else. This is for a dedicated trail JT. For commuting, well, driving a normal vehicles makes more sense.
@@johnmadsen37 thanks for the feedback 🍻
Should do a video on how much the tread width is affected by the rim width as well. I see people all the time running a 305 tire on a stock rim and then wonder why the center of the tire wears out so bad.
True, you should be within 2" of the width of the tires. 10.5" tire on 8.5's, 12.5" tire on 10" wide rim would be great. #oldschool
That's just too much air pressure
It would be really nice to see a 315/70R17 KM3/K02 comparison
Even though mine is technically a 32.8 inch tire still considered 33s with a 11.5 Track width offroading is really fun with these sizes
GREAT VIDEO AGAIN. THE LOWER THE PROFILE USELESS. I STILL RUN 16 AND17 NO BIGGER. SOFTEN MY RIDE AND LIGHTER WEIGHT.
I'm running the Mickey Thompson LT 305/60/18 Baja ATZ P3 M+S on my Land Cruiser. It's funny that you say the tire is just for looks. They probably are just for looks, but I've had decent luck with them in snow. I run LT 255/75/17 Open Country Toyo MT's on my 4runner and they're great in mud and snow. Both the Mickey Thompson and Toyos I have are terrible on ice.
I don't know why people make p metric calculations complicated. When talking about the 295 tires being so different .... well they are! The first number is the tire width (XXX / 25.4) will give you how wide. example 295/25.4=11.614 (25.4 will convert any metric number to standard or vise versa 10mm /25.4=.3937, .3937*25.4=10). The second number is the aspect ratio which is just a percentage of the tire width. Take your width multiply that by the converted width and it will give you your sidewall height multiply this by 2 because you have sidewall above and below the wheel. so 295/25.4=11.614.....11.614*.65=7.549.....7.549*2=15.098. then lastly add your wheel diameter to this number and you will have your overall tire height sooo 15.098+20=35.098 this is much different than the 295/70-17 which is the same 11.614 wide but aspect ratio of 70 with a smaller wheel of 17 making it only 33.259 tall.
I run Falken Wild Peaks 16/285/75 pretty much the ideal size and width also use a 1.5 inch spacers for more track width
Awesome video best video out there on different brands...thank you brotha for that...
🍻
Great video. I just a got a new Power Wagon that came with 285 70 17 D load Goodyear Duratracs. I'll probably replace them with 285 75 17 or 295 70 17 or maybe even 315 70 17 tire.
It will all be contingent on what size spare I can shoehorn underneath. Goodyear also makes a 280 80 17 MT/R and Kinda now makes a 35 10.5 17 Klever.
Love the Power Wagon! It'll look even better with the bigger/wider rubber. I personally like 35's on full size rigs so the 315/70 will be perfect
I had 305/70r16 on my FJ and upgraded to 315/75r16. I think the 305/70r16 looks better. It not only looks better it was better on gas mileage.
Agreed! 35s eat gas and power also
Here it is.... the Nitto vs the Toyo that he has on here.. you don't need a video like this to figure it out.
Nitto- 295mm = 11.6 inches x (sidewall size is "70" % of the width x 2 sidewalls + plus the rim diameter. = 33.24 inches tall
Toyo- 295mm = 11.6 inches x (sidewall size is 65% of the width x 2 sidewalls (upper and lower) plus the rim dia of 20" = 35.08" tall
I find the vids a great way to have a look at the rubber!!
We have mounted KM3 305/70R16s on some ARE 16x8s and tried them on our '99 Suburban, they rubbed up front so back to 285/75s on GM 16x7s, but on the rear, they're doing great, no complaints, no regrets. Less than 1K miles so far, but good in rain, good in snow. Better than Firestone MT2s because KM3 sidewalls are more rigid. The stones were squishy and moved around noticeably despite shorter sidewalls, those were 265/70R17 on 7.5s
I would love to find a good skinny 37 in a heav load range for a 16 or 17 inch rim in a all terrain or slightly more aggressive.

Wouldn't recommend these in mud if you value the property, as with my f250 these dug a whole lot of ruts and I had to dig the front end of the truck out every time I parked in the field for any length of time, but if you've got a light vehicle or don't have deep mud they're great.
@@ghost-jesus wow those are skinny, I haven't seen them before. How did they drive being bias ply? Did the get Flatt spots from sitting?
@@adambatchelder4121 bias ply is good on a truck, has a softer ride and the traction on rocky terrain is better than an equivalent radial, but I wouldn't try a race with them that's for sure, flat spots from sitting will kind of work their way out, just like radials.
Thanks for the video. I learned all the wierd spec'd tires (like 295/70R 17) are cooler looking tires but are probably all MTs thus the slightly extra cushion and size for off-roading. And by opposite correlation the standard 285/70R 17's proportionally equal just slightly smaller (not truly 33's) but may add more comfort as daily drivers... I think. :) It all makes since now how I haven't found sizes like 305/65R 17 in ATs. Thanks
This guy is crazy. The Trail Grappler is an excellent daily driver. It's quiet, rides smooth and performs great on a jku off road. I got 55k miles off a set of 295/70R18's.
Depends what you consider a daily, high-mile driver. Of course they're good if you comparing to Boggers ;)
On a JKU Trail Grappler is one of the best tires, super tough , quiet but not too quiet (hey its a jeep thing). If you have a Rubicon or any Jeep on 35's or more
You should have a Mud Terrain type tire. I think Nitto Trail Grappler, Cooper SST pros
are the best.
What's the "Sweet Spot" in size that saves you the most money when buying tires and wheels? Also, I'd assume a "Mud" style is preferred when driving in snowy, mountainous driving conditions? Thanks for your help
Depends on what look and functionality you want on the truck. I'd say one size bigger than stock will be perfect without losing too much power, MPG and fit ok without rubbing but it also depends on what wheel you go with, whether stock or aftermarket
@Doug DeGrave nope snow and sand you want wider. That's why you deflate when off roading. Mud you want thin.
Reading the comments is hard. People choosing tires based on looks, tread widths, all these other equally stupid reasons.
Good video... I'm running cooper STT Pro's 305-70r-16's, good tire but a bit noisy . Soon I'm going to try BF Ko2's, same size, and see how they work out.
Dan D. sorry somehow we’re not receiving notifications on these questions. Same here. I just went back to the KO2 from the Goodyear MTR because they started getting too loud and vibrating
Great video and thanks for putting it together for us to
view.
Right on thanks guys!
BF GoodRich KO 2 on a 2023 F150 Platinum off road pagage. The original tire size is 275/60/20. The KO 2 are 275/60/20 also. The door sticker air pressure is 35 psi. What air pressure should i run in the KO 2's ?
The formula to figure out size of tire? Just get a measuring tape, measure height and width...its not that hard. And honestly it's not hard to notice if a tire is a 33, 35, 37, or 40.
Yea, I don't get the big wheel look. I'm old school when it comes to wheel/tire sizes for an off-road vehicle. Thicker sidewalls make more sense on a truck for ride and off road functionality not to mention they just look tougher.
Absolutely 😎👍🏼
It's ridiculous it's like these tyre manufacturers said "right now how can make these sizes as confusing and complicated as possible"
Going for gas mileage go with k02s on the 4 runner. Otherwise km3s. Great video. Thanks.
100% wish there were more lower load rated and lighter KM3s
My Ram 1500 was running a 305 55 20 I'm done ✔️ with 20s I'm going with 17s 285 70 17 or 315 70 17 depending what's on sale
I have a 2012 Xterra, with a 3inch lift, I like a nice width extending beyond the side about 2” which tire and wheel would you recommend. And will I have to use Wheel spacers to achieve this and will I have to trim anything in the Finder wall what your best suggestion of wheel and tire looking for a hybrid time I do like the ridge grappler
I don't recommend wheel spacers because how much wear they put on your bearings so go with an aggressive wheel with 4.5" or less backspace and -12 or more offset (-24). Typically Fuel, XD, Moto Metal wheels have those wider offsets. Hope this helps
BEST 3 TIRE MAKES ARE
1 TOYO

I suspect that the larger diameter 17-20 wheel the load ratings being E or even F has a lot to do with liability on manufacturers because many shops don’t know or care if they put a load C tire on a 2500/3500 truck that calls for E rated tire the overkill protects them from lawsuits
True and also the cost for each mold. Also E load will accommodate most trucks even though its designed for much heavier applications
What’s the difference between 17 and 18” wheels in terms of ride quality both on and off road? I got 18’s on my 4Runner but now I realize most owners run 17s on theirs.
Less rubber with the 18s so will be slightly stiffer
Hi if you want the "wide" look do you have to have wider wheels ( 9" or more)? if you have narrow wheels (7.5") will you get the bulge look, where the tire bulges out beyond the rims?I am looking to put BFG 305/70R16 AT on stock Hummer H3 rims with are 7.5" wide to get "bulge look" current tires are stock BFG 265/75R16 ATYour advice would be appreciated please
Yes they'll bulge on narrow/stock wheels as well just not like an aftermarket wheel that is wider. Those 305s will certainly achieve that
So in a word I require wider wheels to get the wider look on the tires?The stock wheels are not wide enough, is that correct?
Just for 37x14.5R15 toyo I love them they look like k5 is coming for you.
Hey brother what is the difference on 33 and 305inches tires which is bigger
305 is the metric width (12") and can apply to any tire regardless of their height. It's used quite often with 33" sizing but there other height sizes as well. Best bet is to check the true specs per tire manufacturer websites for more accurate sizing info.
Is there a big difference between a 285/70r17 and a 305/65R17 in terms of on and off road performance? I'm gonna run BFG AT KO2s on my navara and can't decide which of the two dimensions to choose. Have been running 285s for about 10 years now and wanted a change.
Yes the 305 is way wider and could hinder your ability to fully turn all the way if they rub depending on wheel width/backspace/offset and how much suspension clearance you have. Also quite heavier than a 285. Wider tires offer better traction in cornering and float better in sand but not snow and will hydroplane quicker than a narrower tire but that also depends on tread pattern. Hope this helps
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger Thanks man, my current set of STTs is load E so they are pretty heavy, about 62lb/tire.

Unfortunately we only have the KM3 in stock right now in that size
Sorry it's not that common nowadays as most newer trucks have 17" or taller wheels
What’s the conversion for a 245-65-17?
Could you please do a 285/75R17 295/70R17 BFG KM3 comparison? Not sure which to choose for my 06 4runner.
We can once we have both those in stock at the same time but honestly that rarely happens. From experience with seeing both mounted, the 285/75 is more a tall skinny tire and the 295 tall with width because the sidewall is 12" vs 11.3" wide on the 285. I personally like the look of the 295 better but some like the taller/narrower look better. The KM3 is certainly slightly bigger all around than it's predecessor, the KM2. The 295 challenge is clearing the wheel wells. I had to really chop the front inner wells as well as BMC to clear them and that was with a 3" suspension and 1" body lift. Hope this helps
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger that's a huge help. I really appreciate the input. Cheers
Feruhlphox also if MPG is a concern go narrower because I went from 17 to 15 when going from 285/70r17 to 295/70
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger wow that's a pretty big jump. I'm not overly concerned. It's an expedition vehicle and not a daily driver. I'm more worried about capabilities, having fun and not getting a tire I won't be happy about. I've gone from 265/70 to 275/70. Currently 285/70. All in K02. Love that tire. I want a bit bigger than the 285/70. I feel like I can fit bigger. Got a 2.5" King lift, no body lift, SCS -10mm wheels, a CBI front bumper and a BMC. I'm thinking I could align it forward and if I have issues I could do some firewall tubbing.
It was nice to see you grab 3 identical tires but different sizes to help show the differences. When you start using multiple brands and multiple sizes it almost makes it a little more confusing in a way. And I feel if you're making a video solely about sizing, then continuously saying the brands and models is adding unnecessary information that clutters the message you're trying to get across and makes it all harder to follow.
Thanks for the tips!

My truck comes with 285 45 R22 tires. Can I fit 305/45R22, to my stock wheels?
Most likely but ask around on the truck forums 1st
first number is the width in milimeters and second number is the % of the first number
Yep exactly
I’m driving 295/70/18 nitto trail grappler, but I want to get toyo’s or Mickey Thompson, which one is the best option to keep the same size?
We prefer the Mickey's because they're lighter, less expensive, aggressive and will last similar mileage
Km3 off-road baller for sure
Wrong the first number is the width in millimeters the second is a percentage of the width example 295/70r17 is 295mm width x 70% of the width and 17 is the wheel size in inches
You are correct. I did explain that in the pinned comment
Excellent video , I have a question what is your feedback on BFgoodrich mk3 for a Ram 2500 diesel? Just installed a set today 37x13.50r18 E rated , heard some negative feedback about not lasting on diesel but I love BFGoodrich tires .

Yep 35s!!
Great video! What the biggest tire width wise I could fit on a 16" x 7" wide steelie for a bronco.
Well we've seen plenty guys mount 12.5" wide on stock wheels, even 35" x12.5"
The video showing the 295/70r17 MTZP3 on the 4runner, do you know if any modifications were done to the vehicle besides a lift? Thanks for all the info, great video!
I would love to see you compare Mickey Thompson Baja ATZp3’s 315/70R/17 with other 35’s on the market!
Will do thanks Nicolas
Avoid those Baja atz’s they are completely useless in dirt that’s just a little wet
How can someone that works with tires not understand how you can't ignore the rim size when talking over size with the same width (first number)? If the first number is the same on two tires, 285, 295, what ever, with a 15" vs 20" rim, there will be 5" difference in height because of the rims. And how can you measure the width without being on a rim? Put the same tire on a 8" rim then a 12" rim they will be very different. Then why bother to measure and compare one tire mounted then one not?
George Simpson this video is designed for guys to see a visual on exactly that. Some on rims, some without and comparing them
Great video .. I have 40s in me 1991 Jeep YJ
Nice! I'd like to see that beast
Good information, I would like to know what is the tallest and wider tire I can use in my LexusGX460 with the 18" original rims without a lift and with 2 inch leveling to the front, 4 Runners and this Lexus are very similar suspension and high (close in clearance between tire and tire wall), this information is very important to know for me before buying a new set of tire, I do some of road on weekend and the HT Tires are very disappointing in mud even dangerous, thanks for your good work
Thanks Victor, look for sizes slightly under 33" tall and around 11" full width in order to minimize rubbing like 275/70R18 or 285/65R18. Would love to see how your GX looks after this!
You can’t compare metric sizes when your using different wheel size. The formula is width and sidewall height is percentage of width. When the wheel is larger diameter, it’s automatically taller because sidewall height is from edge of rim.
100%
I have a dually with 17x6.5 front backside 8.83 129 offset rims; 17x6.5 rear backside -1 7/8 offset -140. I HATE the size tires i was sold....WAY to small. Whats the can i put 33's or 35's on those rims? I tow a 15-17k pounds fifth wheel at times so rubbing is certainly an issue. thanks
Hey. My truck has stock tire size of 265/65r18. I wanted to get a 4in lift. What size tires would look right with that lift? I'm not going off road but would like a more aggressive tire look. Thanks
Can you turn your shoe volume down please :)
Lowlife Scum seriously that floor has too much wax! 😐 Next time I’ll just do it bare foot
How about the Falken Wildpeak AT3W?
We need to get those in stock! Seems to be a popular tire now as well
Great tire!
Good video, so, I'm thinking of a 305/70r17 on my stock wheel (2004 3 inch lifted sequoia) which is 7.5 inch wheel? Work or not? Or? A 295/70r17 the tire is definitely going to be a km3
I'd go with the 295 personally. Slightly narrower and taller
Good vid you know your subject Very well
Thanks Russ
What about. 355/40,55,60. or
375/40,45
I wish you still did this
I have a 2003 Dodge Durango. The stock tires on it are 245/70R16.
What I want to install are 305/70R16.
Can I do this without a vehicle lift kit ?
I have a 2002 ram 1500 stock lift and it has plenty of space with 305/70R17’s on it.
finally a useful video

Can you do a video on just 37 and the true size I bought a set of bfgs 37s for 17-in rim I was so disappointed to see that I was so narrow and it measured at 35.6
I would like to know more towards a either 33" on 18" rums or the sub to the same size of 33"
I’m looking to replace worn out Nitto Terra Grappler 305/ 55 R20 & looking at Ridge Grappler, you’re right. Ridge Grappler looks narrower (rounder). What are the widest 305/55R20 tires available?
The Nitto Trail Grappler and Toyo Open Country MT will look the widest but also will depend on how wide a wheel you run
Excellent video!
Just happened to run across your videos and I like your content and I hit that subscribe button!..... I wanted to ask your opinion on a tire set up that I want to put on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4. My plan is just to level the truck and go with the ReadyLIFT front leveling kit with control arms PN 66-3086 and stick with the stock 20's from the truck. ReadyLift suggest a 285/60R20 and anything over a 285 to use the 1/2 spaces..... Ive seen videos where guys have put 305/55R20 on the truck with the leveling kit and it looks good....... I guess my question is what tire size and brand would you go with if you wanted an A/T that had that aggressive look and stood out on the truck but would not be off roading that much just a bad ass daily driver. (according to Readylift 33" Maximum tire diameter 33x11.50 for no rub on a 9" wide wheel with +12 offset)..... Look forward to your answer!
Great video. Made me understand more what i want on the hummer H2. Going with the 37s. I like meat under me. Not sure i understand why the extra wide offset wheels are of choice with less rubber. Fashion maybe?
Tye Curtis sorry somehow we’re not receiving notifications on these questions. Yes people are more concerned with the look of their trucks then function. Personally I’ve had both and the less rubber you have, the worse the ride is
I like how your comparing the tires, but you didn’t explain the sizing correctly. You compared tire for a 17” wheel and a 20” wheel in metric tire sizing. Of course the 20” wheel tire will be taller, but both tires had about the same aspect ratio and width. The side wall height is about the same. Then you grab a tire measured in American sizing and show it’s small size wall. American sizing is the total height of the tire regardless of the wheel size. I think your confusing people then helping to explain.
It's not that simple and I made this video as a visual comparison for viewers. Example 285/70R17: The section width (285) is the width of the tire from one sidewall to the other measured in millimeters. The aspect ratio (70) refers to the height of the sidewall, and it is 70% of the section width. So a 285/70 will be 285mm (11.20") wide with the sidewall height is 70% of the 285 section width which equals 199.5mm (7.85") of sidewall height. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire's sidewall will be.
Milestar Patagonia best tire for the money out there for a mud tire
Have you done any test on the Milestar Patagonia MT and Maxxis Razr MT? I’m looking for daily MT in 35”-37” on my 16x10
No sorry havent seen either of those two here! I think it's mostly because TransAmerican, the parent company of 4WheelParts, solely imports the bigger brands out here and they are the only distributor in Hawaii. Even getting Cooper is difficult
