Where can I find 7.50x16 tires? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to find VERY aggressive 8-12 ply 7.50x16 tires. Doesn't matter if it's bias ply or not. I have already tired the average discount tire, common off-road stores and guessed on the internet. Anyone know of a place where I can find something, tractor places, old Willy's Jeep places, or sandrails run these kinda tires. So far I have come up with no luck. BTW, don't want the military uni-rib tires.

Thanks

Go to a Bridgestone/Dayton dealer. Dayton Timberline A/T and A/S come in 7.50R16. If you go to http://www.bridgestone-usa.com/ and search by tire size. I put a pair of Dayton Radial Stags (out of production) on the rear of my 52 3/4 ton, and have been very pleased. My checkbook, however...

Thanks guys I found the ones I wanted. Not sure if they are exact, I used to have them till they melted in the Rodeo Fire here in AZ along with the cherry original jeep. They are basically one step under a tractor tire tread in terms of the tire I was looking for. I don't see why you guys are saying they are expensive, about $100 a tire seems about right. They are like 31.5x7.50x16's. I just paid $225 a tire for 315/75/16's. So those are cheap.

Iirc, the bill for a pair of the radial stags, which are traction with large lugs, was around $270, mounted and balanced. They weren't cheap, by any means.

Hmmm, just got a price for 4 Power Traction Super Kings 7.50x16's, mounted, balanced, new stems, F.E.T., and tax out the door for $395. Still hella cheap compared to what I paid for out the door for 4 315/75/16 BFG All-Terrains at $952.
