Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
My 87 has a 4" spring lift. Think I could run these or would it be to tight?

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
Larry I like those q78's. Are they Bias? I am thinking I am gonna stick with radials as I will be towing a heavy trailer from time to time. I see the have the tsl in a radial 35/10.5/16. They arent cheap though.

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
I've seen some military based (non-directional) tires here which would fit the bill....

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
The 9.50/33s? I think they might work with no lift. I knew a guy who had them on stock wheels on a '78 Blazer and I don't think it had any lift. I think they'd look/work great w/4" lift. 12.50/33s work with 4" lift

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
Not skinny in my book.... not with a nominal 13.5" section width. I'm running 33-12.50s which are not tall and definitely not skinny.

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
I'd say those are borderline on an oversized tall/skinny. Some depends on the tire design. I'll be running 12.50/37s mounted on 8.25" wheels. They are Super Swamper SSRs and I consider them jumbo tall/skinnies. Although they are 12.5" wide tires the tread is less and they are lugs. The first 37s I used to run were 14.50s which were proportionately close to the smaller 12.50/33,although a bit taller than wider of an increase. Figure a 12.50/37 is 4 full inches taller,yet the same width. That tall and skinny proportions to me...just BIG. Similar proportions to a 9.00-16,which is the basis of ta/skinny I've always used. 13.50/37 is starting to blur the line. In the end,when you look at them what do you see? I tall/skinny tire of a wider tire? My tires are wide,but more tall for the width. I wouldn't want a narrower 37.

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
No thanks. I don't like large rims on a 4x4.

Re: Tall Skinny Mud Tires Who's got them?
Interco used to sell tires like 35x10.5xR16 or 34x9.5xR16.
I used to have a set of 35x10.5 on my 1989 Blazer and they worked great. I loved the look of the tall/skinny tires too. But that was 5 years ago now, perhaps they don't sell such sizes anymore..... |
