Thanks, but what you do mean by get the center tread sipped?
315/70-17 went on nationwide backorder around the 1st of September. There's no date for production, which means the wait will be months. They're focusing on the sizes that sell the most first, so 35s are at the back of the line. Cooper hasn't released the ST Maxx in a 35 yet, so I'd say the best bet is grab a set of BFG KM2s and get the center tread sipped.

Luv my Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs
I just put 275x65x18 MT/Rs on my stock Sahara rims and really love them. They are not much louder than the stock Duelers and my Jeep seems to corner better with the wider tires. I just hope they handle decent in the snow. The kevlar side walls are awesome and tough. The manager at Discount Tire had to show the installer how to put them on my wheels, because they are so stiff, especially compared to the Falkiens I compared them with. The ride is a little more rough but I hope to fix this issue with Ranchos I just ordered. The best thing about the MT/Rs is how aggressive they look
