Pro Comp AT vs. MT
I have got to buy tires soon. I am considering the Pro Comp AT or the MT. I have a 1997 F-150 4X4 stock. I have the 17in ORP rims. Will 33/12.50 R17 fit without a lift? Also the rim size is a concern. My rim size is 7.5 and the Pro Comps require an 8in rim. Will they work? I would appreciate pics of both type of tires if anyone has them. Need help! PLEASE!

I went with the muds because the sidewall is more agressive looking. Both tires are excellent and I haven't read a bad remark about them on this site.
The 33's will fit. But if you have the factory mud flaps, you will have to trim them alittle on the inside.

before you buy, make sure they will fit on your rim because a 7.5" wide rim sounds a little too narrow for 12.5" wide tires. just be sure before you buy, good luck!

They will fit, they just will bow up more with a narrow rim. I had Mickey Thompson 35 12.50 17s on the stock 7.5" rim. They also required an 8" rim.
