As some of you may know from this thread Are 33s a bad idea on a stock 2008 S 4x4 automatic , I've been back and forth on which tires to get for my X (33's or 32's).
I've decided that 32's (265/75/16) were the best choice for my needs, but I wanted to choose one of the "bigger" 265/75/16's out there - ones that measured out to be at least 31.9 or higher according to their published specs.
I narrowed it down to the following:
Falken MT01
Yokohama Geolandar G003 M/T
Cooper ST MAXX
Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3
Specs can be misleading once you see these in person, so I had my buddy who works at a tire shop get one of each so I could compare side by side.
Although the pics are from a side view, the width of these tires can be very deceiving, as different tread patterns can create the illusion of width, and the tires that have stepped shoulders like the Yokohama can look like pizza cutters.
In addition, the sidewalls can have that same sorta effect on how tall the tires look, because of how your eye is drawn to them.
Anyhoo, here are some side shots. Hope you guys find this somewhat useful, haha.
