The 35x12.50-17 and 37x12.50-17 MTR w/Kevlar tires are on back order still.
We do however, have the 315/70-17 size available in this model which is almost the equivalent to the 35x12.50-17 size. Here's the link....

Sorry, I'm a late comer to this thread. I'm in the market for tires and am considering the Duratracs. Do they make these in 35's or only metric sizing? If so, are either on backorder? Pricing? Timeframe? Thanks.

Thanks for giving us forum members a discount! I am wanting to get a price quote for 5 tires in size 38x14.50x17 in the Goodyear MT/R's and the BFG KM2's. Shipped to 74136. Also I have the AEV Pintlers. There specs are as follows.The Pintler is a 17x8.5" wheel with 4.7" backspacing and +10mm offset. Do you think these tires will work with these rims ok? Would love to hear your thoughts on both these tires and my tire/rim choice. Thank you!!!

I wouldn't recommend running this tire on this wheel. If your Pintlers have a +10mm offset they actually have a 5.14"BS. You have a few things working against you with this set up. First, the 8.5" width is too narrow for a 14.5" wide wheel. Second, the offset is too high for this application, the tire will most likely hit suspension components and/or frame without some sort of spacer (not recommended). Lastly, your tires will have a high chance of developing wear issues and they will wear quicker than expected.
If you want to run this size tire I would recommend looking for a wider wheel with a lower offset.

He's a wheel and tire guy, they all "don't recommend" wheel spacers. Don't worry about it. I ran a set of Fred Goeske's wheel spacers in between the rear wheels of my dually for year and hauled over 20 000 lbs all the time. Never had a torque or failure issue there.
