Default What tired are the most true size

Have 35 dura tracks. I swear they could even be less than 34. I know they typically are smaller than they say...

But my next set I either would like to have a true 35 or go to 37.

Suggestions?

I have a buddy with TOYO and they are a true 37

Nitto and Toyo are said to be the closest to actual advertised size. At least that what I've been told.

I have those as well. The Metric designation runs smaller. Mine measured 34.4" unloaded & 33.75 on my Jeep. The old 12.50 x 35 is closer but in the end it's within 1/4 ". I looked at tires until I was tired of it trying to get a true 35" in a tread design I wanted and gave up. The GY MTR's are 35" but I didn't want those, Dick Cepek are too. The 325 x 75 x17" is 35+ but rare to find.

Keep in mind that the tire manufacturers are advertising the tires diameter, and not the tires height. There is a difference, and the more your vehicle weighs, and the lower the tire air pressure you run, the greater the difference is going to be. Toyo tires can actually run a little over their stated size. The Toyo 35s I started out with on this Jeep had a measured diameter of 35 1/4", which was more than their stated size of 35". Their height with the weight of my Jeep on them was 34 1/4". I haven't measured my 37s yet. They look "big enough" to me.
