    285 is a 33 and 265 is a 31, but it also depends on the second number. Im getting 315/70/17's which are 35x12.50x17 check the manufcturers specs to see the actual tire sizes

    I use that formula frequently lol!


    But General Grabber AT2s don't come in the 265/85/r16 that was recommended to me so yeah... 285/75/r16 it is lol.

    Unless I change my mind on the tires...

    I currently have 265 75 17's its a 31" tire. and Im getting 315 70 17's and its a 35" tire. I dont know Metric sizes suck. You just blew my mind I knew it was percentages but i thought I had it down, now im unsure. I just double checked my tire size against what Mickey Thompson Claims its size is in Inches. and my 315 70 17 = 35x12.5x17

    I didn't write all those conversions lol. Found them here:
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/23715-how-understand-metric-tire-sizes.html#post328282

    That's how I've gone about trying to decide a size. But oh well, Grabbers only come in 285/75/R16 for a 33" tire on a 16" rim.


    This thing says the tire you want is a 34"??

    Actually just double checked. MT claims 34.6 overall dia. Might be due to tread. Ill have to measure them when I get them on.

    So I've been getting ready to re-enlist in May right. Well right now the bonus for 6 years is $40k. But that expires on the 14th of March. A little birdie told me last night that the bonuses that are coming out on the 15th will be.....

    $90,000!!!!! For 6 years.

    WIN! :D
