A 285-70-17 or 285-75-16 is about equivalent to a 33" tall x 11-11.5" wide tire. WIthin 1/2" for height and 1 to 1-1/2 " for width, compared to a 33x12.5 tire.
I have Pro Comp A/T, 265-70-17 E load on my Duramax right now. Have a little over 25k mi on them, mostly hiway empty, about 5k mi towing 4k lbs.
They literally look like new still. If I measured them, they're maybe 25% worn.
They are quiet, get acceptable mud/snow traction (good in the snow if aired down some), and wear well (rotate them every 10k mi or so).
I'd reccomend them.

I've got 35" x 12.5" - 18"s on mine and really like them. Decent in the mud, good in snow, OK on the highway (not too noisy) and wear well for an all terrain tire.

Thanks for that input Pilatus, I ordered a set of 33x12.5-17" all terrains on Monday and they got here today. I am glad to hear that they do ok. I hope that I am able to the 50,000 miles out of them.
Thanks
Thanks
