So you have 34's on a sidekick.....Can you describe your lift? Any rim offset or spacers? Did you have to do anything to the floorboards or just a fender trim? What gears are you running? I am looking at putting 34 x 9.5 on mine hard to find details most everone stopped at 33's.  :D

no no no...  most but not all.  fitting 34s is cake.  all you need is a 3in body lift, a sawzall and a welder.  i cut the rear fenders as far as i could and in the front there is only about 1in of fender left at the bottom of the fender.  the floors where cut out and replaced with sheet metal.  i had to cut a small pie shape out of the clutch pedal and bend it to clear the floor.

P.S.  it really isn't easy, but it is fun.

I personally ran the 29x10.5 x15 TSL SX's very nice tire good sidewall bite   they are not a radial but they did last me a long time  and alot of street miles as well i think these would be your best choice they grip the sides of the ruts like no other and they are one of the better interco tire in the snow! ;D i still sold them and put the $$ towards the  bigger tire 32 tsl not the best sidewall but a good cleet ::)
