35x12.5.x16.5 tires

[GSP7]

Who still makes long lasting 35x12.5x16.5 4x4 truck tires?

[andrewmp6]

Really the only company that makes tires for the 16.5 rim is http://www.intercotire.com/ but even then your options are still limited.

BFG quit making them???

[andrewmp6]

Going by tirerack bfg still makes the all terrains in the size you want but they are on back order.

I just bought a set of the BFGs from Discount Tire for $900 and got two $100 VISA gift cards back. $700 for a set of these tires is a pretty good deal!

Yes BFG KOs are supposedly going to make some in a few months, No warehouse has any in the whole US.

They are on back order. Ive been waiting since January

You may want to give Discount Tire a call. I bought mine about two months ago and they had to wait for BFG to make them and it only took a little over a week. Mine are not the new KOs, they are the originals.

Did you check the dot # and dates on those. Originals have smooth side tread, 2nd style has side ridges, now they have a newer style I here


I called a couple discount tires no luck so far

I am out of town right now so I can't double check but here is the clearest picture of what I bought but I know they are not marked as "KO".

[GSP7]

Those appear to be the second style. That's what I have and I saved some of my old 1st style that still have alittle tread

Got calls back from 3 tire shops. They said BFG has not got a production date , just get 'maybe' in 10 weeks. If been hearing that since january. So I dont think they are even going to make them anymore

What is the ph # of the tire shop you got them from?
Florida?
Ill call and ask them, for the heck of it....Im in the West

If you need tires now i would buy a cheap set of 16 inch steel rims and get tires for them.If you can wait it out then do that its cheaper not buying rims unless you gotta.

It looks like I will have to buy some 16" rims when my tires are worn out. I went through this with Bridgestone a few years ago. They say "we may be making a run in a few weeks". After 2 years they decide to discontinue them. They probably think nobody is buying them but in reality they aren't available to buy.

I think the 16.5's are easier to mount with a tire iron if you are out in the boonies, but I rarely play in the boonies any more.

If it wasn't for the h1 beadlocks being a 16.5 i don't think anyone would make tires for that rim size anymore.

Agreed, wish they were 17s.

[andrewmp6]

http://stazworks.com/rims.htm makes double beadlocks in a lot of sizes.

I bought a set of 35x12.5r16.5 BFG's last fall because I heard they were discontinuing them at the end of the year 2014. I don't know if that is true or not.
