Default Looking to get new tires

I'm looking for new tires, but want to keep the stock 17" wheels. I'm looking for something in the 34" range and a little wider that the stock Sra's. I have the TF leveling kit on it now. Any suggestions. I am overwhelmed with the whole metric tire conversion thing!!

That's a wide open question...what kind of tires are you looking for? All terrain, mud terrain?

Uh yeah, the whole metric thing throws me off too and I worked at a windblade factory that used nothing but metric. It's difficult to understand how when you get a 35" tire and when mounted it's only 33.8 or 34" if you want a 35" tire, go get some 36"s. blah blah blah, I say if you want a true 34" go get some 35's Actually, don't listen to me....at all. do what your heart desires!

when I get my 33's, I'm going w/ Duratracs. best all-around tire IMO.
