33" At's

[MelonLips]

Buying some new tyres and just wanna see if anyone has some pics of there car with 33" all terrains?

How much longer do AT's last than muddies? And are they much quieter?

Cheers

Righto. Most call a 285 a 33inch tyre. A 265 a 31 inch. A 315 is 35 inch. But technically a 285 is a 32.5 or there abouts. You can go a 305, same rolling diameter as a 285 but wider. As for lasting longer than a MT. Yeah it will. How much by, who knows. Too many variants come into play here.

265, 285, 315 etc... 25 mm to and inch...it doesn't work out????The metric number measures the width of the tyre. The second part of a metric measurement is the ratio. So for example.
285/75r16
Is 285mm wide, the height of the tyre is 75% of the width and it fits a 16" rim.

For some reason, 15" tyres measure the height in inches. 31, 33 35 etc.

What's more stupid is that we still measure rim sizes in inches too.

I've got 285s on at the moment but I don't like how skinny they look, might just get 33 muddies coz they look sick 🤙🏽

So do you have 15 or 16 inch rims?

Your choices for a 16in rim will be
285x75x16
305x70x16

33x12.5x15 on a 15in rim

Just bare in mind that with a wider tyre, it may well scrub the frond mud guards when turn your wheels lock to lock. Radius arm spacers will help, by pushimg your front diff forward 10mm........ You may or may not need them.

If you want to bring your wheels out wider then getting a more negative offset wheel might be more cost effective. Do you play alot in the mud?

Another thing to bear in mind is braking performance on bitumen. I've skated much further than I wanted to on a near-new set of BFG MTs under an urgent braking situation.
Others here may confirm/contradict this is a thing with MTs vs ATs?

If all other things are equal such as size, pressures, compounds etc an AT will 'outbrake' and out handle an MT as you have more rubber tread surface on the road.

16 inch rim

I've had 33s on before and they fit fine
Isn't much mud where I live just sand mainly

[MelonLips]

I have a set of 15 inch rims to so I can go 33s or 305

Dont get what your response means mate


Never mind, just seen what ya highlighted

So if your driving is mainly on sand, then why not stick to something that will give you better performance on sand and on road, such as an AT...... Pointless having muddies and ruining your on road ability ........ But at the end of the day it's your vehicle and your choice.

My preference would be form over wank factor [emoji2]

You may be wasting money on MTs for "looks" then!

[MelonLips]

Money isn't really a problem I just wondered if 33/ 305 ats look the same as muddies,
Anyone got pics of them?

[Clunk]

This is my infamous Pootrol with a set of BFG 305/70/16 muddies, which I`ve had on since 2009. Not a lot of Ks on them, about 50 000 Ks on them and they give me a stiff when I look at them. If you do sand driving, AT might be a better bet for sand / road / off road / gravel, or HT if you`re on the road more, which would be good if not better on the sand than AT. MT would dig in to the sand a bit more than AT, as others on here would know and one of the reasons why I went for muddies is, I lived in the country of WA at the time and the MT tyres suited more. I have a brother who went for an AT tyre of some sort of brand that I forget now and wished he stuck with muddies, but that`s a personal preference and is similar to mine, due to not doing much beach driving. I know the picture shows a beach sand scene, but what can I say but I occasionally go on to the beach for a change of scenery and or to go fishing.

[MelonLips]

I can't see the pic 😩

I run 33" Wrangler Duratracs. I got them from 4wheelonline. They are AT's but their tread pattern is more aggressive than a typical AT tire.
