Anyone have Pics of 305/70's on thier EB?

[gavindg]

So i have narrowed it down to BFG All Terrain KO2, but contemplating between the 315/75 (which i have currently) and 305/70's on a 16in Rim.

Anyone have any pics of the 305/70's on there EB to compare?

Any feedback is appreciated.

whew I had to look, thought you meant a 305 cheby

A 305/70R16 tire is basically a 33x12R16 tire in inches, so it will look just like every other 33x12.5 tire out there. The 315/75R16 is basically a slightly small 35x12.5 at 34.6x12.4 inches.

Here's a good calculator: https://tiresize.com/metric-tire-conversion/

Thanks Apogee, i had that part figured out, just did not know if that little difference is even noticeable on a rig. I have not seen many posts with guys running the metrics and i am used to the 315/75's right now.

No worries...there's potentially more size difference due to wheel width, tire manufacturers, tread wear, etc, than the small differences between the sizes you're comparing and their nominal inch counterparts. Nominal tire sizing is fairly erratic IMO, almost always smaller in my experience, although some come pretty close to their nominal specs.

On here, you're going to find hundreds if not thousands of pictures with 33x12.5 and 35x12.5 tires, and only a fraction of metric equivalents, hence my previous post. Not everybody is going to know the nominal inch conversion of a metric size.

If you post up a picture of your rig with lift specifications, that may help others with similar setups post pics of theirs.

Thanks Tobin for the feedback, i was wondering why they were all of those sizes only. Here are a couple pics with the 315/75 r16's with a 2.5 in lift. I was thinking of going to the 305/70 for a little less rubber, and for around town more.
Appreciate any feedback..
