G'day,
With the risk of starting another tyre war, I need help.
Differences in specs for my tyre choices are to too large to explain;
Bridgestone AT D694 (285/75R16) OD=838mm Circ=2632mm
BFG T/A KO (285/75R16) OD=804mm Circ=2527mm
Why is there a difference of 34mmOD & 106mm rolling circumference? I'm after the look of high tyres to suit my 2" lift on the GU and am tending toward the Bridgestones

I agree those are 265 dimensions.
Use the following to satisfy yourself

whats printed on the tyre & the actual tyre size are all over the place for example the 31 x 10r 15 we fit to trailers should be 31"
high but they range from 28.5 to 30.5 high no brand is ever 31 " high & rarely are to brands the same
