Default wide tires

Who makes wide tires besides interco? Looks like mickey thompson used to have the baja claws, but I can't find them anymore.

Looking for 35x13.5-16x15. Want more options than just the tsl sx (which I love, but $350/tire blows, I need at least 4 of them) or boggers. After running around on wide tires, I don't really want to go back to 12.5s, no need to debate on tire patch/ground pressures.

350 a tire sounds about right. Metric km2 37 is wide. 365/75/16r. 13.5" wide. Like 320 a tire at discount wheel warehouse.

You're surprised that a 35x13.5" tire is 300 bucks?

Not really. I was mainly looking for more options. If there was say an LTB in 35x13.5 it wouldn't be $300 I'm sure.
