Re: 16.5 tires?

Try tire rack but the biggest they have is 9.5's. Which is why I went to 16's on my truck, and I had a good set of turbines I loved. I found a set of PYO's cheap and whated them for weight reduction.

Depending on goals I would get 17's, as is d H2 rims are fairly cheap.

Re: 16.5 tires?

I can only find two firestone tires that are not off road for a 16.5.It would be better for you to sell the rims and buy something a normal size like a 15 or 16 maybe bigger if you want.The 16.5 rim is a dinosaur only reason you see all the off road tires is the h1 beadlocks are 16.5 and one of cheapest beadlock rims to run off road.

Re: 16.5 tires?

Goodyear has a highway rib tire in a 8.75-16.5 size. It's a little pricey.

Also try Eldorado/Power King tires. They have alot of older sizes. They are made by Cooper.

STA makes a number of bias ply tires in 16.5 size. They are American made too.
