MTRs run taller.

KM2s run shorter.

I'm more concerned about tire performance than whether they measure 0.5" taller or shorter than others.

I run 35x12.50R17 Toyo MTs on my crew cab, 1 ton, Ram diesel truck, pulling 14k+ lbs on a gooseneck trailer.

I would never run them on a rig that weighs less than 6000 lbs. They are 125Q, load range E tires with a max load 3640 lbs at 65 psi. They were designed specifically for heavy loads.

^ I have these tires on my 2 door and run them at 21 psi on the road because of this reason.

My MT/Rs run pretty true to size.

Since a couple of tires run small, why not buy based on measurement rather than size on the label?

Yep, 33.5" at 35psi. I lowed psi to 30psi for better on road handling. The Duratrac's do not come in a 37".

Then go with a Super Swamper branded tire. In my experience they are right at what they say they are or LARGER! They are however, very pricey!

I bought mine new same size in January and with Moto Metal wheels they measured 33.4 inches. Nowhere near 35's but I'm still very happy with them. Great tire.

Absolutely great tire! I was too heavy on the cough syrup when I said I may look at another tire.

My 315/75r16 duratracs came in at 33.75 at 32psi. Rides great on road so far. Used that measurement with my pro-cal and the speedo matches my external gps.
