Default Duratrac Tire Size and Reviews

I'm considering buying BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO tires. What size tire, in inches, would a LT315/70R17 tire be?

Also, if anybody recommends different tires, please suggest them to me along with the reason why your tires would be better than these. Thanks

Go to whatever site you found the tires on, click the specs list for that tire, and scroll to the right. Both height and width, in inches, will be there.

Or go to the mfg's website and do the same thing. All sizes of that tire will show up, along with all of the specs for each individual size.

Or do a search for 'metric tire calculator' or 'metric tire conversion' using your search engine of choice, click any of the links that pop up, type in the tire size, and click convert.

I know. I messed up when I originally posted it, changed the tire I was talking about in the thread, but didn't change the title.

Definitely Duratracs over BFGs. If they made it in a 37", it would be epic.

Totally agree. Loved my 315/70/17 Duratracs, but I had to move up to 37's, so moved on to GY MTRs.

If you live in anyplace with snow or ice, Duratracs are a no brainer.
