I Called Nitto and Told Them My Rim Size and They Told Me It Will Equate to A 33.8 x 11.9.. THATS BS - I Just Measured Them - They Are 32.25 x 13 YES Thats Right 13 Inches Wide..
Just Pissed off! - Called My Tire Guy and Based off What I Learned I Am Going To TryA NewTire:
Toyo Open Country M/T - 285/75R18 (35.1x11.6)

Now, the Toyo's are excellent shoes. Great traction. As a rule of thumb:
Hardness of the rubber -soft is great traction but tread will wear quickly, hard tractionthe least traction butlonger wear
Spacing between Lugs - widely spages lugsallows more traction but wears quickly (like the Toyo), narrowly spaced lugs allow the least traction but longer wear
Lug size - larger lugs allow longer wear (like the Toyo)than narrow lugs
Small channels in the lugs - Allows better wet traction (like the Toyo)
Lug shape - symetrical square/rectangles have the best wear, odd shaped lugs will provide the best tractionand cleaning (like the Toyo)
Now the prefect tire for my has med to soft rubber, wide spacing between lugs, larger lugs, odd shaped lugs and it's a bonus but not a necesity to have rain channels.

Your Not Bursting My Bubble The Least Bit.. Your Statement Doesn't Even Seem To Make Sense.
Let Me Get This Straight Your Saying The Tires Are Pathetic Traction Wise, and You Guaged That by Looking At Them?
Oh Ok.

I know this might be the wrong thing to say now but when I first saw the tires they looked pathetic as far as traction goes but I really didn't want to burst your bubble because one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Is What I Use - And It States It's A 33.4x12.8...
On Nitto's Website - 32.99x12.83 Based A 9.5" Wide Rim.
My Tire Guy Spoke To Nitto and They Stated on A 9" Rim It Would be 33.8x11.9. Obviously The Only Truth Is The Acutal Fitment. As It Sits Now Is 32.25x13

Ok New Theory on Size Descriptions - THEY SUCK
I Called Nitto and Told Them My Rim Size and They Told Me It Will Equate to A 33.8 x 11.9.. THATS BS - I Just Measured Them - They Are 32.25 x 13 YES Thats Right 13 Inches Wide..

They Wont Come In Until Tuesday - What A Buzz Kill.
And I What I Said Before Was So Absolutely True - Remember This! It's Not The Tire height Thats The Issue, It's The Width. My Previous Tire Was A 32.9 (ACTUAL Not A Website Spec) And It Cleared ANYthing By At Least Three Inches.. Now With This 13" Wide Tire Its The ABSOLUTE Max - But, If Anyone Was Curious They DO Fit Without Rub.

But On The Plus Size...
1) I Think The Rims Look SICK. LoL
2) I'll Have Time To Get The Lift Keys and Bags In Before The New Tires Come.
