Default Whats the Difference

I was wondering if anybody could tell me the difference, if any, between a 32" tire and a 33" tire. I am drawn between the two. Don't really plan on going through anything to bad. Like to go trail riding and the love the mud. Is there a huge difference between them?

In your case personally, I'd go with the 33" just because i went with 32s and wanted bigger.

x2, That's what I'd do. Plus it's a more common size, easier to get a used tire for a spare.

only thing to consider is 33+ is generally the cutoff point in which people start to want to regear. dont get me wrong plenty of people run 33's on stock gearing but there will be a significant loss in power making the step up to 33's. Also depending on what rear axle you have it may be the cutoff point in which you want a new rear axle.

it can be done but those are the 2 main points you need to consider while running 33's.

how do the 32's do on stock gears? I plan on re-gearing later on but I am on a real tight budget and it would be much later on

32's are fine but honestly if you already are planning on a regear i would just go with the 33's.

I have seen people run 35's on stock gears it really sucked but it worked.
