Need help finding tires - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a tire dilema. I have 16.5 inch rims. I have two good BFG 31 x 10.50 x 16.5 inch tires. Im trying to track down some more that size. I have been told they do not make these anymore ?? Does anyone know of any other manufactures or options that will work ? 33's are easy to come by, but they are just a bit to big for my set up. I know I can get 9.50 16.5's but they are a little skinny for my rim. I belive the rim width is 10 inches, or 9.75 maybe. Any help is appreciated, thanks

You might try stores like the "Tire Rack. They might be able to answer your question. Good Luck.

I got mine from Discount Tire, but they were 33 12.5 16.5. You might give them a call.

I just called my local guy and he has a set in stock of the size I listed ( I know thats not what you were looking for ) They want 926.00 for a set installed.
