Anybody ever use this size? Conversion chart says 33x10x16.... The tires are Thornbirds. Anybody ever use these?

I don't have experience in that size yet but I will be buying some Cooper Discoverer ST's this fall in the 255/85/16. Narrower than 285's but a little taller.

I run them in an AT tire, like the way they dig. Seem to wear better, and they decrease the wander when going down the road. Downside is they leave ruts in the yard or any soft material.

I've been running 255/85/16 for a couple of years now. I like the size as they are the tallest tires that I have found that are narrow enough for DRW. I have had trouble finding them in anything other than a mud and snow. I just replaced some Dunlop ATs (which I would have gone back to, but they were out of production) with Toyo M55s.

I've been running 255's for quite a few years and like them. They definately fill up the wells nicely. Not much different in 'sway' when compared to stock although I don't push it too hard through the corners. Mine are listed as 33.3" tall.

someone check me, but I thought a 33" tire was 305 and not 255.

Maybe I have been misunderstanding tire sizing or something, but my truck has 305/75/16's on it now, and they are equivalent to 33's.

your tires are 33s but its not the 305 part that makes all the differnce the 2nd number is percentage of the frist 255mm wide 85% of that is side wall height on 16 in rim so 255/85R16 my dunlopes list as 33.6" if you want to do a good comparson check the tire calculater at 1010tires.com
