are you using your 17" rims?

285s should fit with a 2" lift. i think they are 285/70/17?

16" rims will allow you to have a wider range of tyre sizes to choose from and will be a little cheaper.
16" will also allow the tyres to "bag out" more when deflated off road, which IMO is slightly better then with the 17" but as i said SLIGHTLY.

thanks nathan you guy are a lot of help

i think there is a fair price difference between 32s and 33s. I wouldn't be keen to run 33s without some sort of exhaust/chip upgrade. And yes, definitely way more range if you go with 16" rims.

should price some KM2's as well, out of any 33" they are probably most likely to fit being only 834mm in OD.

aside from that they are a very very good tyre, couple of complaints around the web but nearly everyone says how great they are.

I got my KUMHO MT's with the set of rims i bought and so far have done close to 20k on them and they are performing REALLY well.
I have had them in just about all conditions and im yet to find anywhere that i have been disappointed with them, inc in the wet on the tar they seem to be pretty good considering the aggressive pattern.
They had already done quite a few km's with the previous owner but the wear isnt to bad for a MT and the road noise isnt too drastic, but you can definitely hear them more as they wear down.

I was told that they won a European 4x4 magazines tyre comparison test, and from what i have experienced with them they seem to be living up to the hype.

So if they are still at that price when these finally wear out i will have no problem buying another set ESPECIALLY when they are so much cheaper then the others on that list.
