Default Let's Talk 35x12.50/17 Tires

Who makes the largest 35x12.50 Mud Terrain Tire? I understand advertised sizes are not true, so I'm looking for the largest mounted 35x12.50 MT tire. Not looking for 37's that measure 35 inches either.

Currently running 35x12.50/17 BFG KM2 MT on 17x9inch wheels and they seem to be on the smaller size of all the 35x12.50 tires.

It'll vary a little bit based on wheel width, PSI, weight of the vehicle (or are you measuring unmounted), and how are you going to standardize your measurements? I've had BFG's and they do run a little small. I'm currently running Mickey Thompson tires and they run a little closer to true, though I don't have a measuring tape with me.

Mounted would be best case for measuring I'm sure, but I may measure some at the tire store unmounted to get a starting point.

Nitto and Toyo, sister companies, run close to spec size IMO. Of course, start dropping those pressures down and......

Thanks, I want a great MT tire but also would like to see if I could get something a tad larger than the current 35x12.50 BFG's, it's purely a look thing as far as the tad larger MT 35x12.50

I have a JKR with BFG 315 12.5 Ko2,s and got them because they run small. They look huge and at age 79 the Jeep is not easy for me to get into.
