Default Tires..need some on-line buying options

Hi guys,

I've been searching the Internet for 2 days looking for a site where I could buy 315/70-17, or even 34x12.5-17....I really want the 34'' tire but cant seem to find the darn things

Whats the deal?? where are you guys getting these things???...

Why are you just looking for only 34" Tires there isnt much difference in 35" Tires.

As a matter of fact Mickey Thompson MTZ 35 are smaller in size then BAJA CLAWS 35" tires.

Not all the Tires are true 34 or 35" Tires so unless you have some specific reason for just 34 I guess you could try either 33 or 35 just for simple reasons.

Let Travis know what you are looking for, he very helpful when I ordered mine, even if you don't see the tire or size you want on their site if they carry the same brand they can get in for you.

I hear ya Zak,
The thing is, I'm sitting on stock 32's right now so, if I'm going to upgrade, 33's don't seem like much of a change and 35's would put me in the range of needing to re gear and I don't think I want to do that just yet.
There was a thread I saw a while back about how the 34'' was the "perfect" size for the JK with the 2.5'' HD OME lift..
So, I was just curious where they got them...

Best,

Tony

Thanks

That's perfect, DTD was definitely my first choice but they didn't have what I was looking for. I'll shoot Travis an email right now.

Thanks for the info.
