Should be both. Larger tire diameter than stock will cause your odometer to turn slow, meaning you'll rack up less miles on the odometer than you've actually driven.

Great, previous owner says the 33x12.5x16.5 have been on the truck for years, meaning the 4%difference from stock means its got a bit more than 186,000 on it.

Here's a calculator to help you get an idea of how far everything is off:
