So i'll be buying a set of tires in the next week and i have a couple questions. Would a 33x12.5r16.5 fit on my truck with no lift kit? Any body have any recomendations on cheap A/T tires. O and i was also thinking about 285/75r16.5. Thanks in advance

 

If thats your truck in your avatar...those look like stock wheels and are 16's
285's are just shy of 33's and I think they are a bit skinnier than 12.5

every tire I have seen does not measure to what they say(99% are smaller)

 

oh yeah...as far as cheap...I have run a Mastercraft A/T that were a pretty decent tire(think they are made by Cooper IIRC)

 

i have the nitto terra grapplers 285/75/r16 and i like them alot. they were only $150 each mounted and balanced at a local shop. ron's right about the sizes. my brother's 36" were just a tad over 35". my tires are 32.75" by 11.5". do you have 16.5" rims? as ron said stockers are 16" and these tires cont interchange. if you have a stock lift, you may have to shim the front bumper out for turning clearance. good luck

 

I just put 4 Cooper Discoverer ATR 285/75 16's on my 97 F350. Makes a big change in the look of the truck and it rides like new. The picture is the old tires I have to take a new one.

 

i bought my truck with 33 12.50 16.5 mud terrains and they were rubbing in the front fender until i trim the corner.im looking for a set of street tires with load range "e".my 97 has blocks in the rear ,is this original?it also sits higher in the rear.

 

Tire Fit and Clearances - What Hits, What Fits , this should help you out on what tires should fit on your truck.

 

I have a set of 16.5 wheels that are 10 inches wide that i was thinking about mounting the tires on

 

ohh and thanks for the all the responses

 

I have a set of Firstone Destination M/T's which are far from a/t's but they wear amazing, and are also load range e. If your lookin at inexpensive a/t's the general grabbers are the bang for the buck for sure MHO

 

Core250PSd, how much where your firestone destinations?

 

New picture with the new tires.

 

dcgarda, looks good with the new tires!
