33" BFG KM2 actual size?
 
I know BFGs run small. I'm looking at the 33" but can anyone tell me the actual diameter at a daily driver PSI please.

Their website typically states their tires size

its not accurate, at all. It also says their 35" is 34.8 but its only 33"... Maybe 33.8 at best.

My 33x10.50 km2s measured true to their website of 32.8... I know their AT (not sure on the KO2) are no where close though.

Most tire sites if you look over on the chart it will give you the true size of the tire btw.

BFGs are not always accurate please see comment above.

Just measured mine on 15x8 wheels. My KM2s measure 34.5 off the Jeep, 32 5 mounted on the front & 32.75 mounted on the rear. I've always thought that they looked a little small compared to other bigger tires but just thought it was a illusion.
I'm thankful they are not true 35s for the simple fact if they were I'd be snapping front end parts left & right.
Other than it running small its a great tire.

Most 33s and 35s aren't true to size

I agree David. I'm not trying to max everything. I'm still enjoying my rear disk brakes thanks.

Glad to hear it.

I believe the carcass is the same size between the KO2 and KM2 but the tread depth is where everything changes. Also have to remember to measure from the top of the tread and not where it tappers inward from the shoulder.

Tires mounted can be smaller or bigger depending rim size and even air pressure.
