Stock is 275/70 which makes it about 31's 285's are a 285/75 which makes a big difference, about 33's. Theoretically not a huge difference but for most of us, going from 31's to 33's is a big difference. All of the different metric sizes are confusing, because its not just the first number but the first and second that determine the actual tire size. A 255/85 is a 33" tire and a 305/70 is a 33" tire and a 285/75 is a 33" tire but they are all different widths going from 10" to 12".
