I need a Uniroyal Laredo M/T tire - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got a set of 3 near new Uniroyal Laredo M/T tires. The size is 33X12.50X16.5. I can't find a 4th tire anywhere, they've discontinued them. If anyone has an old tire laying around, I'd just like to buy 1 tire to make a complete set.

I'VE HAD A FEW SETS OF UNIROYAL TIRES IN THE PAST (EVERY SET HAS ALREADY BEEN ON A VEHICAL I BOUGHT) & IT SEEMS LIKE I WAS REPLACING A TIRE ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTHS. I NEVER HAD 4 WORE OUT TIRES. THEY WERE ALWAYS IN 4 DIFFERENT STAGES OF WEAR .

I know Wallmart carried then at one time. Also, American Tire Warehouse had then. as all 16.5 tires, they are getting harder and harder to get. That is why stock 16" wheels are so costly. i just bouoght another set of stock 16" 8 lug and paid $20 each. That was a steal. I remember the days when I would buy a new truck EVERY year and sell my take off wheels for $200 a set. Those days are long gone. Give Wallmart a call and if that fails, contact Uniroyal a call and see ifthey can stear you in the right direction. I just so happen to have a 15" 6 lug mounted of that tire behind my shop. Too bad it isnt a 16.5...
Good luck

Thanks for checking guys....I checked Wal-Mart and they also told me that this style and size is discontinued. I'm just thinking that someone may have an old one laying around. I may even be interested in a Wild Country mud tire 33X12.50X16.5. It seems to have a very similar tread design!

Wild Country is carried by Les Schwab Tires... I know their Chico Calif Phone number.. Its 530-898-1635
Good luck, Maybe they can email a picture of the tread and then ship you the tire. They are good guys to buy from. Ive spent big$$$$$$ there!
