bigger tire size?

[cc93cruiser]

i want to go with a bigger tire size for my 93 cruiser- it has a 2" OME lift kit i dont want to go with anything bigger than a 33" tireas i was told anything bigger wears out the drivetrain faster. i was wondering if the tire the size i need is 305-75-16.

295-75-16 is what I have. It's nearly exactly a 33" tire.

That is a rather broad statement, I wouldn't hold myself to 33" because of that. 285/75/16 is basically a 33" tire, but if I had a two inch lift I would be tempted to go a little bigger.

If you haven't already, you might check out the FAQ section. 305/75 is bigger than 33". 305/70 is 33".

cc93,

You should do two things. First read the FAQ about tire size and the second is to find a new place to buy your tires from.

For a 33" equivalent, you can go either 285/75 R16 or 305/70 R16. Either one will fit fine with an OME 2" lift. The 305s are aprox a 3/4" wider than the 285s. The 295/75 R16 will fit too, but it's a little taller than 33".
