Default 35" Falken Tires?

I have a 2013 2D and do a lot of highway driving. I'm interested in the Falken 35/12.50.15" tires. Is anyone running this set-up? Are they a true 35" tire?
Thanks!!

I have the FALKEN wild peaks 325/75/17 and they are awesome on the street. You won't hear any road noise. Great tires for everyday driving.
They are actually 34" under load.

Do your homework before you jump on them. Some dealers have good sale on them. I got them for $150 each.

Can't comment on the size you are looking at, but here are measurements for my 325/80/16's. (8.5" rim and I think I was running 28psi at the time)

MFG spec - 36.3"
spare - 36.5"
front - 35.6"

These are 35x12.5x15 Falken's on a 2007 JKU. I'll never go back to a 15" I had terrible rubbing issues on the Synergy Tie rod ends (added after wheels and tires) true you can get some wheel spacers, but you have to be very careful where you put balancing weights to avoid contact with the caliper. I've since moved to a 17" wheel and 37" MTR's and the Teraflex Big Brake Kit... and it true that they measure very small.
