I purchased some 39.5X16.5-15 Rockers. They come-up a little short for the diameter I had hoped for. Call them, they will give actual dimensions. All tires I know of and have had do come up short of advertised dimensions. Pitbull claimed a better ride on the street than other similar tires. They ride as good as the Bias ply Iroks I had though they flat spot within 4 hours and I would not recommend them for a daily driven vehicle (unless you will put up with the first few miles of driving through the flat spots). If I were to buy again I would probably size-up to get what I wanted (42 vs 39.5). Perhaps the 42's at an inch less in width would flat spot less as I could run more air pressure and still get a good contact pattern for wear. My experience is effected by the fact that they are mounted on 8" beadlocks which should be about a 9" wide rim. The manufacturer suggested a 10" wide rim.
I have not had them offroad, but have heard and read nothing but awsome comments about their trail abilities.
