Default anybody running 35x10.50s or 34x10.50s?

Thinkin my 12.50s are just too much meat on the road for my use. Wondering how the narrower tires ride?

I've never seen either tire size. I think they may make a 34 x 11.50. If they made a 35 x 12.50 there would be many people with factory wheels running this combo to avoid wheel spacers or new wheels.

Interco makes a 35x10.5 in the SSR.

Why not? They are a radial, not bias ply. I'm strongly considering them.

I actually saw a couple sets of 35 x 12.50 in the Salem, Oregon Les Schwab tire store a couple of days ago. I forget the brand and rim size, but just looking at all that meat on the rack made me feel, well... inadequate

I anyone really wants to know, I'll stop in there and take another look.

I'd like you too, looking for a nice skinny tire to use in the winter to not float off the road in ice and snow, and well since I'm going with 35" summers....Might as well go with 35" winters too .

As 07Rubigreen posted, Interco does make the SSR in a 35x10.50 in 15",16" and 17".
Don't know about the 35x10.50's however a coworker had a set of 35x12.50x16's on his halfton Chevy pickup, and the ride on the street was not to my likeing at all. Much to harsh and quite a bit of vibration at low speed.



Quick Reply: anybody running 35x10.50s or 34x10.50s?
