And where in the world do you find tires? I can't find many tires made for 16.5's. I'm looking for something in a 33 or 35 flavor.

there arent many companies that sell tires for 16.5s let alone in a 33 or 35 unless you want really aggressive off road tires

bfgoodrich sells 33x12.5x16.5s on tire rack, thats the size i had on my old red truck.

i cant think of any other place at the moment. good luck though.

i have 16.5 weld rims on my truck and it is a pain to nice offroad tires. Just going to bite the bullet and get bigger rims. the tire choices are much better with say 18 inch rims. i am just going to keep the 16.5 set and mount some street tires on it for the winter. you could do that just an idea for ya.

i had the same problem with mine, i looked and called some places, the only place that had an AT tire was petboys. Other wise like everyone else said you may have to upgrade.

good luck altogether my friend. runored a long time companies were goin to discontinue 16.5s. that time is upon us. used to be everybody used 16.5s for the correct load rating for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, all that was available. now almost every size is strong enough. best bet to upgrade to a 17" or 18" if its within ur budget to do so. tires in those a plentiful, hope this is helpful.

i have 16.5 and the only tire in the 33 or 35 range is bfg a/t ther a good tire. and there on tire rack but expensive cause of the odd size so i would look into getting new rims and you will save money in the long run buying tires and you have more options with a regular size rim.
