What does a 315 tire size compare to like 33s 0r 35s?

 

almost 35's

 

How almost.

 

Depends on the individual tire, but their about 34.5" tall on average. So their just a hair shorter than 35s as 35s aint always 35" tall. Example here

 

31570R17's work out to be 34.4 tall, 12.4 wide.

 

315 is the width. 315milimeters The second number is a percetage that gives you the height. 315/75/16 means the sidewall hieght is 75% of 315 mm from the rim to the top of the tire. A 315/75/16 is comparable to a 35x12.50R16. A 315/70/17 is about the same for a 17" rim. Theres only a handful of tires that actually measure what they're called.

 

Exactly.

 

yup, im about to buy some Toyo MTs in a 315/75R16, their sute says the tire measures in at 34.9"

 

I have a question.. does ANYONE make a 315/70/17 or 35x12.50x17 in a load range E?
