Ive really liked the t/a kos. I have 325/65/18 and i bought them used with about 60-70% for $300. I have really liked then for what i used them for, i dont really go offroad so i dont know the performance there but on the road they are great. a little slick in the rain but that is the only complaint. out abour 10,000miles on mine so far and they dont show any aditional signs of wear.

they are:
aggressive in appearance
quiet
perform well off road
durable
reasonably priced

I'd go with a 305x65x18 which is close to 34 inches tall to give a little more clearance then squeezing on 35's and avoid rubbing with the stock wheels.

i just got new 285/70/17s in bf goodrich at-ko's. i wanted to get some decent tires without having to level it.('05 stx 4x4). so far, i love them, the only thing ive noticed is they pick up and "sling" rocks. other than that they are good to go so far, now to take them off road.
