Speak English! Lol, so 35s are 315 75R16

Yes.

Tire math: (tire width)/(percentage of width of tire from rim to ground)R(wheel size)

So, a 315/75R16 is a tire that is 315mm wide, the rubber is 75% of the width, and it fits a 16" wheel.

To convert to standard, divide tire width in mm by 25.4 to convert to inches.

Thus making it 12.4/75%R16 or 12.4" wide, with 9.3" of rubber on each side of the wheel, so, 34.6" tall

When I bought last time I spent months researching. Had I known I'd be doing as much road tripping, I'd have probably gone with the dualer at revo2, or MAYBE the duratracs, but, sheer performance was my goal, so, it became a battle for the toughest tire, and then was either the BFG km2 or the Goodyear mtr Kevlar. I read many reviews of the kevlars not making it past 30k and the km2s making it 50k easily if you rotate religiously, so, the km2 won... If you'd like, I can compile you a comparison board like I used....

well, now that I've done it a few times, it really only takes me a couple of minutes... so, it's no big deal...let me know if ya want....and what your important points are...

I can tell you, if you go bigger with the BFG AT/KO's you will have to do a LOT of meltmodding and can actually find yourself making contact on the inside wall of the fender...

the AT/KO's are a ****VERY**** square tire, so, when you get into the large sizes that you'd have to melt anything, they run a lot of risk of making more contact. if you're going all the way up to a 35", I'm told you need a minimum of 2" of suspension lift, 2" of body lift, and quite likely, chop out an inch or two of fender, you'll probably be doing away with the whole of your fender-liner as well, and, you may need to go to a titan swap and/or wheel spacers to clear the inner contact points, such as your frame, and/or the insides of fenders....

I am titan swapped. And will be doing a 3" body lift before the tires are bought. I already ditched the fender liners because I trashed them doing my headers lol. I have 2" wheel spacers in the back. I'm not worried about trimming at all.

what size tires are you running now? kick yourself to full lock and measure clearance between the edge of the tread to hard contact to the frame....

That's what I meant, who made it haha. Late night writing didn't always convey what I'm thinking.

Lol early morning reading doesn't always compute correctly either so it's all good. Xterra mayo made it and it is damn nice. I need to open the bumper box to take a pic of it too. I would definitely do business with him again and would recommend him to anyone. He communicated thru the whole process
