    BFG AT’s installed measurements are less than listed on spec sheet


    Doing some measuring on my whip and just need the actual diameter of the that particular tire as it rides installed

    actual width would be helpful as well

    TIA to anyone who can grab this measurement

    My 265/70/17 measures exactly 31” installed. Spec sheet says 31.7” I believe - so I wondering how much less the 285 is from its spec of 32.7”

    It seems that the dimensions can vary depending on the type of whip...

    and yeah all tires measure that way that’s why I’m trying to nail down the measurement (installed measurement).
    Thanks.

    BFGs if I remember correctly run on the smaller size of most 285s out there. One of the neighbors out here has 285s on the 4runner sema wheels and they look skinny to me. I thought he had pizza cutters and he cut the front end up a lot because his alignment was crap.

    Lol I know that. I was taking measurements. Needed to know the mounted diameter. Nobody posted so today I found out first hand. 285’s are not a true 33 anyway. I know all this. I just wasn’t sure what the actual diameter came out to be. I was curious now that I know I’m just sharing it.
