Yep, they'll be gone real quick.

Trip had 17's, my bad on that. The smallest you can get them in is a 35x13.5x15, so you'll probably want a 10" wide wheel.

Bring your spare shafts.

I saw blue label in the 35" variety on many tire sites, but not red label...based on reading stuff on pirate.  I will not go to 37s any time soon, so if I can't get red label in 35s, then I'll be looking for another tire.  I'll probably have two sets of tires, one for street and one for play.  I only do about 4k per year on the jeep, so regular tires usually rot before i wear them out (kind of joking), which is why I'm not worried about tread life. 

Where did you find red labels for 35s on 15s?

I saw a CL add for a set about a month ago, sometimes they pop up on Chattanooga or Knoxvilles CL's more often.

Looks like BFG wants to keep their red labels to competition rigs or with sponsorships like you said. Obviously you can get the Blue's...

I vote to try out the Maxxis Creepy Crawler stickies.

I would check the tire weight more than the size. I can say my 39's are just stupid heavy. If you going to reds might as well run beadlocks so that's even more weight. Pretty sure swampers, pro comp, maxxis and someone else makes a sticky so check there as well

There are a lot of posts about maxxis treps that indicate they are second in line to krawler RLs.  I know they are a lot cheaper.

35" Red's are 80lbs each. I agree with the bead locks.

Go creepies!

[BigJerm]

80lb tire with lots of traction and the weight of beadlocks would be a lot on a D30 fo sho

As usual...champagne taste, water budget, and a 104 year old's time line.

They don't make the 35" reds anymore I don't think. They come in a 15" rim, and sometimes can be found on pirate. 37's only come in 17" and the same with 39's. They make 42 but they are 20" rim.

To get red labels you need to be a sponcered racer by bfg or else know someone. I can get new one's but they aren't cheap, but like jemery said they are a trailer only tire. Used ones can be found on pirate and hardline. I bought mine on hardline. These tires work the best at close to half tread and down.

 Your drive train is in constant bind in a way. Yes, my 37's are too big for the rubi axles, but with the fact of having a trailer, chromoly rear, and rcv front I'm ok if something goes, but damn if they just don't make the jeep crawl like a mountain goat.

Another option are the bfg krawlers that you can find at 4 wheel parts and the likes, know as blue lables. They aren't as good as the red's but they way better than the km2. These are the street version of the red labels with the same tread design.  The rubber is a little harder because they can be ran on the street but still pretty soft. They will wear quicker than the average mud tire. I bought a 37" blue lable as my spare.

Maxxis tires are heavy. They work the best over a red when it straight slop but any other day, a red will own it.

If your not driving much then buy the blues. They will make a difference over what you have. Buy a warranty with them due to the krawlers don't have the strongest side walls, and includes the red.

You can get away without beadlocks. Krawlers don't need single digit psi to work. I was 12.5 front and 11.5 rear yesterday. A nice aluminum rim will work to start with.
