ya the Buckshots were a 305/85R16 which converted to a floatation size of about 36.5 x 12. That was a great tire. It wore like iron and dug.
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.

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.
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.
