33x12.5 or 35x12.5 tires?? (2 Viewers)

I think weight is a bigger factor than diameter. There are 33's out there that are equal to, or are heavier, than some 35's.

If I’m not mistaken I think the k02 are light weight

KO2's tend to be on the heavy side.

Does anyone have experience with 285/75R17s (34"x 11"ish) on a 3FE truck?

I have a set 33x10.5s that are worn out, and I really like the look of 285/75R17s on a few FZJ rigs... but I'm afraid of the additional 1" diameter will be too much for the 3FE.

I have sean this also but have some thoughts. A couple tires i looked at the 285 is maybe 5lb less than the 315, not much. But assuming most of the weight is mostly in the tread area the 285 should still have a fair amount less inertia than the 315 since the mass is located further out on the 315. But i bet that all my understanding of physics could fit in a thimble
