Default Pic request - Duratrac 315/70/17 height difference against a true 35x12.50

I am looking at a set of Goodyear Duratrac 315/70/17's and would love to see a side by side height difference against a 35x12.50 (Toyo MT or other). I really like the size of the 35s and would like to know if there is a "noticeable" difference in height. I know what the specs say but was hoping that someone has a pic of a 35 standing against the 315 Duratrac to see if there is much of a visible difference.

Thanks!

See the pics on the AEV forum you can see both duratrac 315 70R17 and wrangler mtr 35 12.50r17

Duratrac seems a bit bigger.

The Dutatracs do look bigger... That's strange. Thanks.

I parked near a jk with BFG KM2 35x12.50R17 at the dealer and the KM2 were about .25'' shorter than my duratrac 315 70r17, both tires set were brand new.

I can tell the duras are slightly shorter. But i think the tread width is slightly wider. My 12.5 wide toyos measured almost 12.5 wide tread to tread. My 13.5 km2's were just a little over 13 tread to tread. Varies from tread to tread. Duras are a different purpose built tire compared to any mud terrain. Its a wicked all terrain and winter tire.
