Agreed, 265/35-18 / 285/35-18 is certainly the most popular tire configuration for the 9.5" / 10.5" wheel combo. The widths match up perfectly and they clear the fenders out back no problem.

Dreamer99 was specifically looking for tires at the taller end of the spectrum, something as close to the stock rolling diameter as possible for added protection against those treacherous potholes he faces. My 275/35-18 / 295/35-18 recommendation was purely based on meeting those target heights. I prefer 275 / 295 tires to be mounted to 10" / 11" wheels.
