I just checked and I found a good selelction of the following sizes:

265/70R17; BFG AT KO, General Grabber AT2, Yoko Geolander MT+, Goodyear
Wrangler MT/R, Firestone Destination MT, Dunlop Radial Mud Rover

275/70R17; Goodyear Wrangler MT/R

285/70R17; BFG AT KO, BFG MT KM, Goodyear Wrangler MT/R, Pro Comp Mud
Terrain, Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain

Size-Up:

The 265/70R17 tires ranged from 31.7" tall to 32" tall. The width ranged
from 10.7" to 12.7". These tires weigh 44 to 55 pounds.

The 275/70R17 tire was 32.4" tall and 11" wide. This tire weighs 50 pounds.

The 285/70R17 tires ranged from 32.5" tall to 33" tall. The width ranged
from 10.9" to 12.1". These tires weigh 50 to 60 pounds.

SO...................what size(s) can I fit with a mild tbar crank? The Pro
Comp Series 8089 17X8 rims have 4.5" of backspacing.
