Interco has some "cookie cutter's.....33x10.5 and maybe a 35x 10.5...otherwise you need to go to 19.5's where you can get a 35 inch in a 265 to 285

I was not able to find anything that I liked for these darn 17s

I had to settle for 285/70s. Had to go a little wider to go a little taller

I figure when these wear out there may be more to choose from in the 33x10.5-17 sizes

I really like my 285/75 Toyos. Not exactly "skinny" but tall and not real wide. They seem to roll very well and I'm getting good mileage.

A set of 255/85s would be sweet for mileage but with 17s we're so limited.
