Question how wide?

how wide are your tires?

standard to metric conversion calculator.

i have 15x8 rims and 35x13.50 tires which ends up being 343/74/15.

when mounting the tires, the guy asked me if i had stock in toyo. i said no, but got a good deal on them.

Got the "wider is better" in mud and sand. Your jeeps daily driver's? If so, how do they handle with 13.5"? 17", 16", or 15" rims? Feel sloppy at all or still responsive as stock?
