They are 34" ers. I have my speedometer geared for 35s. These were the closest thing I could find in a highway tread approaching that size. 19.5s were the other option but I just dind't think they looked right and were way more money as well. The Alcoas are forged wheels. Better load rating then the cast wheels you see out there making up probably over 90% of the after market wheel choices.

This seems to be about the biggest tire I can run without losing mileage per gallon. MPG went up only slightly going from 33s, and I suspect I will start seeing a drop if I go to 35s.

But I am going to try it anyway if I can find something in a 35 when these wear out.

Do an online search and you'll find a whole bunch of listings. Any 4x4 shop should carry them or be able to order it. You'd be better off finding somewhere close to your neck of the woods so you don't get hit hard on the shipping costs.

I deleted a couple of unnecessary posts following my first warning.

This is the last warning - EVERYBODY drop the attitude subject.
