I went to a site that was posted on another thread i think it was Treadwrights. They have some pretty good prices. Any body order from them and did everything work out?

I also like the thinner tire look. I want 285/75 r17. Runs around 34 inches tall. Has been a great tire. Only have 10k miles so far.

I'm running 295/70r18 Nitto Trailgrapplers. Roughly 34.25per their website. These are only 1/2" +- smaller than their 35's but only 11.5" wide. I'll post up some pics later when I'm at a computer or do a sesrch I hsve photos all over.

I agree with the 285/75R17 being a great narrow tire. I have the Toyo MTs in this size and they work just as good as the 315/70R17s I used to have. Just need to air them down a bit more for a wider foot print on sand. Here are some pics...

The actual measurement is about 33.5 in height. Have not measured the width, but they are probably 11ish.
