I would also like to know becuase I have looked everywhere and I can't find anything.
 






Until recently I was running 17x9 Cobra R wheels with 31x1150x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Belted Radials. They also make a 34x1150x17 tire of the same type. The cheapest place I found them was http://www.tyres1.com They ride pretty well, have a nice hum on the freeways, and look mean as hell.

I would use the Nitto performance extremes in a 275/50 17 because they have worked well for me in the past and they are pretty cheap.
 












The longtrails are a nice all around tire for everything except heavy wet mud.
 






Yes, I would recommend the Longtrails. Good, quality tire for a cheap price. They handle everything well except, yes, mud. Tacky mud isnt much of a problem as long as you stay moving, but slick wet mud really messes them up.
 






Does anyone know where I can find a set of Pirellis or Michelins for that size rim that are at P235?
