I am running Super Swamper Trxus Mts in a 34x12.5x15 They also make the LTBs in a 34, but the widest they go is 10.5". The only tire they make in a 34x12.5 is the Trxus.

I ran the 34s. Not a great tire (in my opinion). There are reviews in the review section in the Tire/Wheel section. Click on the link in my signature. The summary is basically they are hard to balance.

I'll agree they are not a great tire. Good, yes, but not great. I have owned other MTs that performed better than these. But you can't argue the price... Or the look for that matter :p

There is a thing called lateral runout. The side to side movement or AKA wobble! Well, I was doing a transmission flush with the rear wheels up to bump up the line pressure and the wheels were spinning and the truck started to shake violantly. The wheels were spinning fine but the tires were wobbling like a champ. Wanted about 2 lbs to balance one tire. Most tires take an ounce. Anyway - not a great tire and may cause axle problems and premature wear if they do have extreme runout

BFG makes a 295/75/16 AT, which is a 34. I had them on my old EB.

here are some more 295s.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-LT-295-75R16-Hankook-Dynapro-Mt-RTO3-16-Mud-Tire_W0QQitemZ8038510200QQcategoryZ66474QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
their specs say 33.4"X11.6 though

If you had 17s, you could get you some 305/70/17s, which is a 34x12.5

Super Swamper SSRs, Parnelli Dirt Grips are the larged 33s that I know of. Oh - and Goodyears MT/Rs are all around 33.4-.5"
