The description is the tire size, you just are confused with decifering it.  33x13.50-16LT
33 is the height in inches
13.50 is the width in inches
16 is the rim diameter it fits in inches
LT is Light Truck designation.

Yes, it qualifies, but make sure you have 16 inch tall rims.  If not, you may want some 33/12.50/15LT's.
