Strap on Yotatech is running that size. See this: Click Me
The link includes both pics and comments about that tire size. I'm also considering the 255/75-17 BFG MT.
PROS:
- Narrower - Better MPG
- A true 32" Tire
- Less $
CONS:
- Narrower - Smaller Footprint
Please post back if you decide to go this route.

Well obviously they work, but the guy has not responded to your post about his thoughts on the tire. I would like to see a side shot of the truck to see what the clearance looks like from the added tire height. Its only a couple of inches, but that is all I need. (boy, I am sure that last sentence will get some laughs)
Man I really want to get some tires and this size is cheaper than other the other sizes, plus it is a 32 inch tire....
I may just go ahead and buy some and try them out...
cheers

Wonder if they will fit where the spare tire goes, or even if it's important to you.

I did not really think about the spare, I have a feeling it will not fit, but I am not really worried about the spare... for now...

I am having doubts about the purchase now, but oh well, money is already spent, I might have some rubbing issues too.

OK I got them, a couple of things I did not think about when buying these tires, they were pretty cheap so could they be factory seconds? Are tire companies allowed to sell seconds? If they are not very round then it will be hard to balance them, I guess we will have to wait and see
