305/70/16 are very close to that size and are what I used to run. They looked good on my truck. I switched to 265/75/16 10 ply. More what I need for my truck and cheaper.

i have 37x12.5x16.5 and probably won't change unless or until forced to...one of my buddies has four hummvees and keeps me in tires at a decent price. i love the look and i love the sound. they probably ride really well too but i can't really say since my shocks have gotten bad enough to move up the priority list : o

I have BFG ATs 285/75R16. Load range E. They are the same diameter as the 33X12.50s on my Bronco.

i have the same size on both my f250's. from the charts and tire shop, the 285 is closest to a 33". YES ditch those 16.5". theyre a pain in the ***** when selecting tire sizes/brands.

285/75-16's are a very popular size for our trucks. THey are about 33x11.50

If you still want a 33x12.50 go with a 305/70-16

If you want a 35x12.50 go with a 315
