You may need to go to each companies web site and see what they write up as the height. But I know that the MT/R not on the truck measures around 32.7 inches. where mounted on truck it will measure less than 31.5.
Both of these tires are close to 33 if you do the math. Now look at the Manufactures web site to see what they will say. Yes some companies will say they are closer to 32, while some may say 33. Clear as mud. of course it does depend on if you measure off the rim, on the rim or on the truck setting on the floor with different pressures in the tire. later robbie

The main reason I am going with 34" Truxus MTs is that swampers are usually larger than what they spec at the manufacturer. This allows my tire to be closer to 34 inches on the road and aired down be closer to 33 inches and provide more clearance and less rubbage (even though I don't think I will have any problems).

The 305/70R16's will not be noticeably taller - just a little wider ... this is based on my buddies 305/70R16 Nitto TerraGrapler's to my 285/75R16 MTR's.

The first number indicates the width, so 305mm - 285mm= 20mm difference in widthevsweat1 said:
I am trying to figure out the over all heights on the BFG AT's I can make no sense of tirerack's spects tire chart. I thought the second number i.e. 70 or 75 indicates the height. But when I look at their chart (75) can mean 31.7, 32.9 or 34.7, WTF? Any one know what a 295x75x16 BFG KO AT on a stock 94 LC rim will measure out too? Height and width, please, anyone running this combo?
So if I get this straight 295x75= 221.25mm, 221.25 millimeters = 8.71 inches x2 = 17.42 + 16 inch rim = 33.42 inches. I know the manufactures real height is different but I am try to wrap my brain around this whole metric tire thing. What a PITA, if I didn't like the stock rims so much I would saw c-ya to this whole 16-inch rim thing and go with some 17s.
