Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
Living in the snow (and rust) belt.
Pizza Cutters are the way to go.... I have run 235-85-16 on every 3/4 ton ive owned. the 68 is getting 36x12.5x16.5 tires (OE tires from the HumVee) before they went to 37 radials I dig the look of the 255-85-16 on the M1008 above... I shoulda looked for some for my 73 but for now ill "suffer" with the 35x12.5x15's |

Some 16's (235 85 16) on our '61 and a 8-17.5 as a spare. Would you guys assume the 17.5 is the original wheel for this truck?

Simex must be part of the same company as Fedima. This one is called a Simex Extreme Trekker II (Centipede) and looks nearly identical. There are differences but they are very close.

Here is another link for a lot of tires. Click on the "All Terrain, Street, Mud Terrain, Extreme Terrain" ect tabs near the top right and new pages of more tires come up. Plus it has a full tire size, gear, mph + other calculators there too. LOTS to look at!

Those are all neat tires MKcustoms, the problem is we can’t get any of those in the USA that I know of. Can we?

Also not sure if they are DOT legal here in the states, I'd have to look. I've ran non DOT on the road a few times on different vehicles, never had a problem. |
Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
Sadly, they aren't DOT marked. :(

My truck had some screaming pizza cutters on it when I bought it.

Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
I've got the BFG mud tires(not in the picture) in a 255 -85 r16 and they are great! I run them on steel rims and I have really put them to the test the last two hunting trips. They were a lot of drivers that wouldn't go where we went ( good for us). About 16" of mud, snow and water. They ate right through and I never had to use the winch!

Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
Once I get my '85 Jimmy lifted on 8-lug axles I want to go with 255/85 mud tires. I have a new set of stock 16" wheels I bought years ago to use on a Cheyenne Super I never restored. For now it'll run 12.50/35 MTRs but those will become my flotation set once I get the others. The Jimmy is 100% stock and stone simple now with stock wheels/hub caps/235/75-15s now and I just want it beefy stock looking.

These are 235/85r16 Mud Star 10 ply tires. They arent the best wearing tires, but they do real good out on the old muddy dozer roads I have to drive on.
