That's weird, should be easier to find 16's. Have you been looking for ones that specifically said 33, or have you been checking the metric sizing as well? You will probably want 305/70/16, equivilent of 33/12.5/16. 285/75/16 is supposed to be 33/11.5/16. Good luck.

285/75-16 is close to 33", on average. There's dozens of them out there to choose from.

the bfg a/t's are pretty good on roads but they wear down fast i wouldnt use them that often in the mud because they fill with mud quick but they crawl after a while of spining, i gottem on my chevy and idk if ill buy them again i'd recommend useing nitto trail grappler

I had 305/70-16 Goodyear Wrangler ATS on my 99 PSD before I lifted it. THey looked really good and performed / wore pretty good also.
