You can get the exact height from BFG's website. Keep in mind that tire sizes are usually rounded up to the next whole number. In other words, most "33's" are actually 32 1/2 to 32 3/4 inches tall.

 

You can get the specs of any tire we sell from our website. I'm not sure if you knew of that or not. It's true most flotation sized tires are usually about a half inch smaller than indicated. IE 33 is reall more like 32.5".

I'm not sure on the noise level of the new BFG MT KM2. It looks like it will be OK to start but get pretty loud as it wears - pretty much what they all do.

Here's the specs:

I had 305/65/16 on my 98 with an aftermarket 8" wide wheel, cranked the torsion bars up a few turns and never had any problems. I don't think they are a true 33", more like a 32" atleast they always seemed shorter.

 

Who makes a 305/65-16? That size would work out to be approximately a 32x12.50-16 tire.

 

I believe they were one of the first 305's to hit the market, Goodyear ATS.

 

bfg makes a 305/65/17 would the rim size make that much of a difference? BFG is the only one i know of that makes this size in a 17.

 

A 305/65/17 is a 33x12.50-17. Pro Comp makes a tire in that size, as well as several other manufactures that just call it a 33x12.50-17.
