35 MTZs run on the thin side of a 35 12.50 17. It is noticeably thinner than my DC Mud Country 33 12.50 17s. Hope this helps
Haaaa! Sorry, didnt read where it said AT Tire before posting.

Look at Treadwright's 315's. Mine are on 16" wheels but they're made in 17".

I'm currently running Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/70/18, they are just over 33 inches tall and just under 11 inches wide. Great A/T tires, good for a daily driver and they can offroad as well.

Hmmm....is an MT...but any comments on these? Perhaps TOO thin? A 255/80/17.

Considering a stock Rubicon tire is 255/75r17. I can't see how there would be much difference.
