metric 33in tyres - to suit 16in rim

[toy77]

Hi guys,

This may have been covered, but i am having trouble finding it in a search.

on my last patrol which was stolen i ran 33in tyres on 15in rims.

i have some nice 16in alloys for my new patrol, but am having trouble finding 33in tyres to suit.

i can get 285/75/16 which i think are 32 x 11.5in

and can get 315/75/16 which i think are 35 x 12.5in

i have been looking for 315/70/16 which would be pretty close to a 33 x12.5, but so far i have had no luck.

can any one help?
either with a model of tyre in this size (i am after all terains)?

or correct or confirm my thought on what the actual sizes are.

Cheers

305/70/16 is pretty close to 33x12.5/15

is that a common size?

Yes.

Very common, most 4wd tyres offer the 305/70 in there range.
the 285/75/16 is cheaper so more people run them.
i have 305/70/16 as my daily driver tyres on my GU, the extra width looks better on the GU than the 285/75.
