Hey @EWheeler I’m interested in seeing how these tires look on your truck, and by looking online, it doesn’t seem to be a tire that is very available right now

Any ideas, or do I just need to keep my eye on eBay
Call Greenball tires, they are the parent company. When I was hunting for some retail options to buy these, I called Greenball and they told me what they had in stock in local distribution, and who to call to place an order. They gave me a chain store within 5 mins of our office and also gave me the part # to reference when I talked to the counter. The part# was key. The counter guy told me he couldn't find them in the system, then I gave him the part # and they magically appeared in the system. I ended up not buying retail as I really didn't need another set of tires. Will post up photos when I get these mounted up. Will be later in July before I can put any time into these.

Solid! I had that exact wheel/tire combo on my fj62 (before I went to 35's) and it looks better on your 70 series...! The yokos run on the narrow side as well
 
I don't know with the tundra rims, but I imagine so. The 4runner and FJ cruiser 17's, yes you do.

There is the same rim overseas in a 17" with 3.5" backspacing, but they are hard to find. About $126 new plus shipping from overseas.
Got posts mixed up. I thought it was tundra steelies on the 70 series
 
Not sure 285/75-16 actually count as “tall and skinny” but here are BFG on FJ Company wheels versus Yokohama on 1” wider Fifteen52 wheels

The Yoko is .5” taller on the wider wheel

Damn right. Awesome looking tire. Can you look at the 33” tire thread and do some measurements for us?
Sure, I'll ll put them up here too
 
Skinny 33s are awesome.
 
I have been watching for a deal on the Kanati Mud Hog 35x10x15. Missed out on a black friday sale last year through Ebay and it just hasnt been a priority to buy new tires for a truck that doesnt need them. Facebook marketplace algorithm put a set right in my lap today and Im pretty excited.

They measure 34.25” tall and tread width is 8.25” un-mounted. 55.2 lbs per tire. Will follow up once i get them mounted up on a set of factory 15x5.5 FJ40 wheels with further data.

I'm still waiting for @EWheeler to pop these babies on his rig...
 
I just mounted a set of 33x10.50r15 bfg at ko2's on steel 40 rims. They measure exactly 32" with no weight on them, which is what I was hoping for. I shopped a lot over the past year for my '69 40 and there just aren't many tires in stock in this size.

We are getting closer. I mounted one 35x10 up on my spare wheel. Waiting on my spare 35” tires i ordered to show up to the local tire shop then i will get my 33’s swapped over for the 35’s.

Likely going to need some lift shackles bumpstop adjustments, and maybe some spacers on the front, or just bite the bullet and do saginaw. I was really hoping i could throw my factory FJ40 PS box on this truck to keep it looking OG.

The tires measure 34.125” mounted.

Sorry for the sideways photos, ive about had it with this GD website and rotating my photos when uploading from phone.
