tall and skinny.....where to buy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking for some tall and skinny tires for my stock k20. I would really like to put some 33's under the truck, but if possible I would like to keep the width narrower than the 285/75/r16 typical tire that everyone runs. I have 265/75/r16 on there now, they are pretty worn, but I know I am looking for something that will fill the wheel well a bit better. I have seen some posts where people say they are running 265/85/r16 tires, but I can't seem to find ANY tires in this size (looking for an AT tire for basic on/off road duty). I really like everything I hear about the goodyear silent armors, but I checked goodyears site directly, and they don't make anything bigger than a 235 with an 85 aspect ratio.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.
