Default Tire Help!

OK. After many recommendations, I have decided to go Kumhos. I have decided to go with either the MX or the 712.

The problem is, I can't find them in the right size to fit the 96. Tire Rack has them to fit the front (245/40/17) but not the back (285/40/17). I also was thinking about going up to GS size rear tires (315/35/17) but they don't have those either.

Anybody have any ideas where I can get these tires?

Thanks! :crazy:

Go with the 275/40/17's you will not be able to tell the difference between the two. You can get them easyer and cheaper.. Oh yea and get the 712's
