33x10.50-15 tyre?

I have a 92' F150 4x4 with STOCK suspension. currently running 31x10.50r15LT Regul Trailblazer A/Ts. They are worn almost bald and cupped. I have found a sweet deal on BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO that are 33x10.50-15.

Question 1: will they fit ok on my truck? Will they rub when I turn or bottom out when I hit bumps?
If they will fit and only problem if turning real tight then I am gonna get them. Otherwise, I have found other choices.

Question 2: If I stay with 31's then what do you recommend. I do a lot of driving on gravel and mud and snow. about 2/3rds of my driving is on highway or blacktop and city, though. usually about 55 mph or less.
I like the BFG all terrain t/a in 31 also.... BUT.... Falken has the new Wildpeak A/T in that size and it looks pretty multi-versatile. Has anyone used these new Falkens yet? they are suppossed to hold up well on highway use as well as off road and are quiet (according to a 4x4 magazine I read where they took jeeps from mexico border through cali, oregon, and washington up to Canada. They ran 60 sets of these tyres and had no problems with highway, rock crawling, water and ice, and dirt)

Thanks.

Tires pops.. From Canada? Anyway, the 33's Might fit if you are stock.. My dad runs 33x9.50's on his stock 87 bronco. No issues. Leveling kit and you will be good to go.

On another note, I would Highly reccommend General grabber AT2's. They have a higher rating then the BFG at. And are cheaper. I have had two sets here in Northern Michigan and they have perormed flawlessly! After I lift my truck I plan on buying some 315's. At2's will be on my truck!

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, I looked at those Generals also... the tread looks about the same. I had just not heard anything about them. The only General tire anyone talks about right now is that new one with the red letters. I found a good deal on the BFG 33's. Assuming they got too many in for winter and didn't sell enough maybe. Just a local discount tire store.

Born and raised in Iowa, been traveling the world ever since. Tyre accidentally happens once in a while. People give me hard time about how I write the number 1 also.

Thanks again. I will have to compare the price of the BFG's in 33's to the price of Grabber AT2 in 31's and see which is cheaper. If you swear by those tires enough to keep getting them in the future, then that is good enough of a review for this guy!
