I am wanting to buy some 33" x 12.5 for my SuzySierra. I was after some cheap proper size 33's TO a TAPEMEASURE.. NOT on the WEBSITES and i dont know any decent prices at the moment cos some companys have just palmed me off. :bad-words:

" 33's arnt legal for a suzuki, good luck in finding someone that will do it "
The last response......

Now:

33" Maxxis Bighorns = 32"/31.9 $230/250
33" Nankang Mudstars = 31.9" $185
33" Bf Goodrich = 32.9" $280
33" Mickeys Mtz = 32" $310
33" Simex Jungle treker = 34" $340 in '2005'
33" Super swampers = 34" Price?
33" Kuhmo Kl71 = 32.3" $340!
33" Hankooks,Unsurepattern= ? $260

33" Yokahama Geolandar M/t = ? $290

Simex Jungle Trekker ]['s 33x10.5r15 = ~34"

i guess this doesnt really answer your question either.. but i thought i'd throw it in the mix to even up the other end of the scale...

i think i have heard it said that Simex measure their tyres at the tread base? not sure how true that is.. maybe someone can verify?

Probably at the shoulder of the treadface, not the crown.

pretty sure the BFGs are 32.9" check their website

ah u dont wanna check their sites, why not? they give the true overall diameter on the BFG site

i know coz i got the 32's and they are 31.9"

Ah ok, most sites that i have seen they say that they are a 33. Measure 32.9 for eg But in real life they are not..
Many people have been on here because of this, and im just wanting to clear things up alittle in the tyre choice scene.

Thanks 4 helpin so far ;)
