Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?

Use to run 900-16 military non directionals on a 88 V30. They were made by Armstrong. I think they are gone. Also had 900-16's by Denman tire. They are still around. Universal Vintage Tire still has 900-16's. The military non directionals were super off road in the mud, but were total crap in light snow on the road. It was like the truck was on ice skates. Still have the truck and now it has 255-85R16's by Kelly. They arn't as tall but the tread is much better in the snow but not as good in the mud. Can't have everything.

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?

My attempted to find skinnys up where I live hasn't been the greatest, anything but these tires that I am rolling now. 38x15.50R16LT. I am having bad luck, first the steering column and now the tires. lol what's next. Anyone have a site that sells 2 wall military rims for a 8 lug?

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?

I was planning on going with maxxis buckshot mudders on the back of my truck but they stopped making them. i have a couple of buddies that own\or work at tire shops and they have told me that the 15" ones are long gone.... some places might still have them in stock in a 16" but no 15".....
