anyone know the specs on the 245/70/19.5 vs 225/70? I seem to be able to find all the specs for the smaller size tires but not those. I need to know how tall they are. I talked to a gm guy who runs them on two of his 1 tons, he's got 8r19.5s, but they look like steer tires, not what I want. Real tall, but ultra skinny with no discernable tread. Wont work on a 4wd that I want to be able to hunt and plow with. I'll be looking for 6 drive tires.
Anyway, I am guessing the 245 will be at least 33". I've got room for 35-36 at least. Anything smaller than 33 is going to look too small imo.
