Those Hancooks look good.

I have 315/75-16 Treadwright's. They say they're 11.5" wide and they're taller than any "35" I've parked next to.

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 sure wish Duratrac came in this size. :(

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 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.
