I think Super Swamper makes a 34.
 






for what size wheel?
 






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.

what made u think it wasnt upto your standards?
 






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

thanks for the tip, who makes the biggest 33 tire or the smallest 35?
 






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












thanks, ill look into that size for my next purchase
 






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"
