Dodge Truck Tire Problem
Since the first number on tire sizes on high flotation tires is the height, would my tires be shorter If I changed from 33/ 12.50/15 to 33/10.50/15 or would the width just change? because on a normal metric tire the second number is the height but for example a 215/75/15 is shorter than a 315/75/15 even though the height number didn't change.

first is the width, second is the height and third is the diameter of the inside hole
