Good luck with that. I tried for weeks to get 275/50/15. They are on national backorder, so i go what i know , which is BFG drag radials. With a 17 inch tire, i have no idea what you would need.

ya i just checked for a set for 315/35/17 and they are on back order untill march or may, so your stuck with Nitto 555R or BFG T/A's i personally like the nittos over the BFG's

I bought some more bfg's. I've been running them and like them. They give very good traction for a radial. To the guy who said he like nitto's over bfg's, it has to be because they last longer not because they hook better. If you think the nitto's hook better than the bfg's, your lacking power dude .

im pretty sure theres no lack of power but thanks for your lack of knowledge, and as far as bfg's over nittos i get the same 60 foot with either tire ive ran diffrent tires to see which were better because of all the opinions, and the MT's are the best i can run between a .10 and .05 second faster 60 foot with MT's over BFG or nittos, as for the BFG its a fairly old technology that they are using they havent changed too much over the past, there is a new tire in R&D tho and that one is supposed to be a compitition drag radial
