Cool Tire size options??

Ive got 35x12.5x16.5 tires but want to get away from the width but do want to keep the height to keep my rpms down....are they any options with the 16.5'' wheel or do i need to do something different? That and the only tire i can find in that size is the BFG's...have the mud tires now but they are to aggressive for my needs.

Re: Tire size options??

Can you run 15's and go with narrower tires or? I don't know how skinner you can get in 35"s though maybe 11.50s.

Old school q78-16 bias ply tires are what you want, but the 16.5 inch rim hinders you bit.

....yeah, I did some looking around and the 16.5 rim you are running is a pain to find in tal and skinny.
