I think just about every tire company out there does. You probably just need to look at in metric sizes though.

35x12x17 is a 305/75R17
35x12x18 is a 305/70R18
35x10x17 is a 255/90R17
35x10x18 is a 255/85R18
34x10x17 is a 255/85R17
34x10x18 is a 255/80R18

Looks for street tires around these sizes.

Because they have different size rims. One is a 17" and one is an 18".
A 33x12.5x17 is a 315/65R17

The 70 and 75 are sidewall height as an aspect ratio of the with, the height is 70% of the width. Easy example would be it it is 10 inches wide, the sidewall would be 7 inches tall...

And the first number is the width in mm. To determine what the width is in inches, take the first number .. ex 305, take 305 divided by 5 then multiply that by .2 (5mm = .2" so 305mm = 12.2", roughly to 1 decimal place.)

If you aren't looking for ATs then what are you looking for? I don't think you'll find performance street tires (like what you would put on a sports car) in a 34" or 35". I figured by street you just didn't want big lugs like a mud terrain.

Check out the following tires .. about as street tire as you get for a truck with a tire that big. They comes in every combination you can think of.
National Wheel & Tire - Toyo Open Country A/T's
National Wheel & Tire - Nitto Terra Grappler
National Wheel & Tire - B.F. Goodrich All Terrain K/O
National Wheel & Tire - Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ

For those of you converting on your own: 1" is exactly 25.4mm.

Check for Hummer II sports tires and double check on the Max weight capacity.
