no way, look at the size of the rims compared to the tyres, if my 33's or even 36's looked that big i'd be stoked.

it has a leaf over conversion by the looks, so there is 4 inches extra, swampas are a small tyre so from the swampers i have seem my guess is 38's and up and they are wide as, definitely not 33's

Someone should be able to just scale off the wheelbase.
Someone who cares that is.

Cant anyone read this ?
The writing does look like 33x12.5x15 but I would have said they were bigger - with the spring over they still look bigger than the 36"s I'm running.

assuming they are 15 inch rims then get a ruler and do a rough measurement off the photo

In that case I would say they are 33's (allowing for difficultly to measure off computer screen).
Spec's are here for various sizes:

Ok, mine are 36" on a 15x10 rim...
Haven't got any straight on shots but have tried to make the rim sizes the same size vertically. I'm still thinking they are 33's Hope this is a game show and someone will eventually confirm the actual size - winner taking home a brand new set of these tyres
