I got these and love them!
Just measured and they are just under 34" x10" only about 7 3/4" of that actualy makes contact on normal roads.

That actually looks really good. One of the benefits of running Pizza Cutters is they weigh less and are suppose to be better in the mud. Much like the WW2 Jeep Willys which came like that from the factory for the German swamps.
Do you have any sort of lift?
Thank you,

Planing on doing a Teraflex 2.5 coil lift with fox shocks or a RK 2.5 stock mod as soon as i can.

I too have been looking for thinner tires. I’m actually surprised there isn’t more of a market out there for such things. When you consider how many pounds per square inch a jeep is spread over a 12.5” tire and how dangerous that is when floatation isn’t desired. Not just for jeeps, but any number 4x4s under 7,000lbs. It seems Interco Tire Corporation is the only ones who have discovered physics. Yet few can afford to run their tires on anything beyond a dedicated trail rig. I fear too many years will go by before high school kids and their fat tires stop ruling the market. Supply and demand I suppose.
