33" vs 285 Tires
whats the difference between a 33" tall tire and a 285 tire. 285 closer to a 34" tall tire? or smaller?

Gotta calculate it, for metric tires the first is the width in mm, second is the aspect ratio (70 means sidewall height is 70% of tread width ) then rim size. Overall height is 2x the aspect ratio plus the rim size

It's tread width/aspect ratio/ rim size
