I had everything picked out, the Fabtech lift with Neeper Vandals 20x8.5 wrapped in Toyo Open Country M/Ts 35x12.50x20. Seriously if I can't get those tires, whats out there? Theres not much. I know the Xterrains but they are 13.50s and wouldn't work that well with a 8.5" rim and Im not doing Nitto MGs again. Whats out there guys? Any help? 
hey thumper was curious why you are not going with the nitto mg again, your old truck looked sweet. reason im asking is i have them and wondering if i should expect any mishaps are wear too fast or something like that.

I'll consider them IF I can't get a hold of another tire by October. But, I was trying to go for a clean/classy look on this truck and I thought the Toyo Open Country M/T would be perfect for that. Honestly, I do a LOT of driving and after a long time of driving, I'd get a headache and it seemed like only than would the tires hum real bad. 
Most of the time I didn't notice the hum but when I did it was hell, it'd get so annoying.

Thump, look on Ebay. Thats where I got my 325/60/18's from. When I was looking for tires from dealers around here I was told they were 7-8 weeks backordered, Nitto and Toyo both M/T's and A/T's in 18"+ dia. I just talk with him this weekend and now he isn't even taking orders for them, since his suppler can't give him a date on when they will be in stock again. But he is guessing 4+months, he has one costumer that has been waiting 3 months for Nitto M/Ts. So it looks like if you want them by October you better order them now...

Ok Thump im going way way off topic here but i was looking through your pics and noticed that you ride and that you broke your back. Can i ask how big was the jump and how far did you overshoot it or how close were you to making it? haha. Thats crazy. By the way your old truck looked sweet and this one is even gonna look sicker. Also did you keep your eclipse navigation from your old truck to put in this one or are you gonna get something different all together?

Thump - I perfer the Xterrains. On my last truck I had 3 sets of tires with just over 70K miles. 2 sets were BFG Muds (both within 30K miles) and the last were the Xterrains that lasted well over 30K miles. I have a set on this truck with just under 10k miles and they still look new.
My next set of tires will be the new Extreme A/Ts.
