I would love if someone would make 35s in 9.5 or 10.5.

No thanks. I don't like large rims on a 4x4.

Interco used to sell tires like 35x10.5xR16 or 34x9.5xR16.

I used to have a set of 35x10.5 on my 1989 Blazer and they worked great. I loved the look of the tall/skinny tires too.

But that was 5 years ago now, perhaps they don't sell such sizes anymore.....

Use to run 900-16 military non directionals on a 88 V30. They were made by Armstrong. I think they are gone. Also had 900-16's by Denman tire. They are still around. Universal Vintage Tire still has 900-16's. The military non directionals were super off road in the mud, but were total crap in light snow on the road. It was like the truck was on ice skates. Still have the truck and now it has 255-85R16's by Kelly. They arn't as tall but the tread is much better in the snow but not as good in the mud. Can't have everything.

I was planning on going with maxxis buckshot mudders on the back of my truck but they stopped making them. i have a couple of buddies that own\or work at tire shops and they have told me that the 15" ones are long gone.... some places might still have them in stock in a 16" but no 15".....

Franz up in grand junction, Colorado built it. He works for kustom coach works, a fantastic VW restoration shop.
