Not the year you wanted but mine with 6.50 x 16's. Photo is from 1985 right after I did the first conversion to 4wd. Axles are 74 K10. I am of the skinny dig down to solid footing vs. wide floater school of thought. I grew up in Oregon seeing 50's and 60's 4wd logger and hunting trucks and like the look.

Tall skinny tires are hard to find these days. I've tried with no luck. Interco is the only one with a cool tall, skinny tire.

Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
Check out Dirtylarry's truck. I think they are Interco LTB's. I believe you can get them in a 34/10.50/16.

255/85-16 BFG Mud Terrains. I used to run others but it's down to just these. Maybe Maxxis still makes them still. They changed the Buckshot Mudder to another name that I forget. They were around a few years ago. They are the 9.00-16 equivelent. I guess about the same as Q78-16s.

There's just not a lot of tall skinny radial options for 16 in rims anymore. The 255/85 (33x10) is about the best a guy can find that is above the average stock height sizes. If a guy is looking for anything taller I think Interco is the only company offering a narrow'ish 35 for 16's. 35/10.50R16. http://www.intercotire.com/tires.php?id=9&g=1 Then there's their Bogger that can be had in a 38.5/11R16 but i think these are starting to get away from the practical side of things.:lol: For snow and ice a prefer a tall narrow tire myself, but im finding that to get what i want I'm going to have to either stay with the 255/85R16 which many companies carry, or jump up to a 17 or 18" rim. |
Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
do these howl when they go down the road
|
Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
ya they sing out
|
Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
serious there only gonna be like 5 inches!!!!!my dad doesnt want howling tires because he cant hear his radio and he doesnt like the sound ,now that i think about it he doesnt even have a radio!!!!:lol:im gonna tell him he just needs to sound deadened the whole cab!

Re: tall skinny meaty tires post em up
I love a 4wd you can hear coming down the road. If they don't sing they won't do a thing :lol:
My '72 will be running 12.50/37-16.5s on 8.25 wheels once I get the lift I have laying around up under it. They are a large tall skinny by proportion. Just not so skinny. It seems there's always some other thing or the other taking priority. I gotta keep it handy for back-up. I'll be changing axles,too,and I'm sure the front will need some work. |

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!

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!
