Default Does anyone make 36" tires for a 17" Wheel?

Title says it all. I'm looking to go a little bigger when my 35's go bald, but don't have the lift or gearing for 37's yet. I don't want to get rid of my 17" Pintlers, but haven't been able to find a 36" tire x 17" rim, wondering if any of ya'll have.

Thanks.

Don't get stuck on a nominal tire size of 36",

Actual tire size varies from nomimal tire size, and installed tire size varies from actual tire size.

If you want something bigger than a 35", some 37"s are closer to 36 and less installed. So just pick a "small" 37' tire.


But if you insist, I will gladly come by and take those Pintlers off your hands for a reasonable price.

What tire brands do you like?

I love my BFG KM2's, and as they apparently run pretty small, I might just go with 37" KM2's next time... but I kinda want to switch it up. I really like the new Wrangler Kevlar MTR's. Do you know if they run big or small? I think I recall reading that they're big... Do you know any other "small" 37's?

As for the Pintlers, if I had any cash at all, I'd gladly sell them and upgrade to Pintler Beadlocks... but I'm broke. And you probably wouldn't want them; they're rock-rashed from the Rubicon and I just found out that one of them is cracked where the spoke meets the rim. Need to call AEV pronto.
