Yes. Basically the equivelant of a 315/70/17. Of course, I am assuming that you are on either aftermarket wheels with correct backspacing or you are running wheels spacers with stockers. Without wheel spacers, the 315/70/17 or 35x12.5x17 will not work on stock wheels. Well, they'll fit, but they will be making all kinds of contact in the wells.

For some reason a lot of companies use the metric sizing system for their AT's and the floatation sizing for their MT'.
