I've got what you're looking for! 285/75/17r Firestone Destinations AT. I believe these are a 32". I kick myself for not getting 35's. but these really are a great tire. Quiet on the road. Pretty much same gas mileage as my stocks. I didn't think they'd do too well off roading, but they definitely hold their own. Great if you only go a few times a year. And even in the snow ( despite this picture of my jeep snowballs) they grip well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this tire again. Unless of course I had the good sense to go bigger :p. recommend the 33" Firestones. GREAT quality for the price!

Incorrect, mine measure out to 31.6 Which would be about 32" on paper

I know that's what the tire calculator states, but there's no way I lost 2" of height

Mine measure 33 7/8 on 17 x 9 wheel. That was before mounting on jeep. Sitting in the ground on the jeep, it depends on what pressure and how much weight are on them. But at 40 psi, with no people or top .... Just over 33 1/2"

My 285/75/17s measure 33.1 mounted and are 33.9 on paper. Remember 75s will be taller than 70s in the same size but a little narrower.

How many miles do you have on the duratracs, i like the looks of those but they seemed a little to aggressive in the tread for my use. are they quiet and do they do good on the road.
Ive only got about 20K on the Duras. They still look new. Perform great in any kind of weather. And are really not much louder than the SR-A's.
