what tire shop allowed you to mount a 33x12.5 on a 6" wide rim????
they should be shut down as no reputable shop would have allow that. Sure you don't have a 7 or 8" wide rim? The rims in your avatar look to be 8" wide. Mounting that wide of tire on that narrow of a rim would cause some serious ballooning...

there is a big variation in tires. measure the rolling distance of the tire to compare (just take a tape and wrap it around the 33's and compare that measurement to the one you got for the 31's)
