These are E rated and larger in diameter than the 295/70R17. I couldn't find them on the Toyo site though ..
thanks

I've never heard of that size either. I'm just hoping it's the real deal instead of a mistake. I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing for a 75 profile though ...

I was looking at these tires a couple weeks ago,.....I'm really considering getting a set for the summer tires and keep the BFG's just for the winter....pretty sure they are on the Toyo site.

Did you get a set or just order?

I talked to my tire guy 2day and asked him to order me a set, he then called the distributor to check on availability and price and was told this tire is listed as TBA (to be announced) it has no projected avaliablity date, it's been on TBA status since jan 1 06. He put the order in with the distributor but I'm not holding my breath

Just missed them!

I've got the "70" series on my '07@ 32.7" tall. The "75"s@33.8" would be just right. Guess I'd better start putting some miles on these! I've always said there was a market for a for a 34" tire. Bravo to Toyo for making it an "E" rating!

I second that. I wish BFG would make an all terrain tire in that size.

BFG AT, In that size with an E rating,....I bet they'd have a hard time keeping them in stock I don't think I've every owned a tire that works so well on ice/snow and I've had allot of tires (currently on the 16th set on my 03 Rubicon)

My bfg a/ts are the best tire I have owned. We got about 2' of snow last week and then had freezing rain. The bfgs were outstanding. I couldn't ask for a better performing tire in those conditions. But if I can get a set of 285/75s whether they are Toyo or BFG I think I'll still get them. I'm really interested in how the Toyos compare to the BFGs. The do look good that is for sure.
