Cant find tires ?
 
Hey hows it going?

now I'm new to the diesel world and lifted trucks so bear with me :)

i have 36x12.5x16.5 tires on my truck now and I'm going to need replacements soon

i found 35's thru BF Goodrich but they are on back order for a lonnggg time apparently

i have a 6 inch lift so 33's will look kinda small.

anyone know where i can get a set of tires? half road half off road use so some all terrains would be awesome.


thank you!

I have bfg's at the moment but the next set I have in the garage are some Pro Comp Xtreme all terrains. I can't wait to get them on but I still have good tread on the others yet :D

hawaiian808 04-12-2011 07:31 PM

I have 35k on my BFG mud terrains and they are doing excellent IMO they also sat for awhile b4 I got my hands on them so the rubber got alil harder. Ill get pics of both but the pro comps will be a very nice compromise between street and off road

hawaiian808 04-12-2011 07:36 PM

how much where the pro comps for a set of 4?
i have found a set of BFGR for 800+shipping but like i said back ordered everywhere i look

Thats right manufacturers are doing away with 16.5's and if you do find them they're probably old stock and overpriced 17's thru 20's are gettin really popular but I like my 16's because they're cheaper :c:

hawaiian808 04-12-2011 08:52 PM

ok so 35x12.5x16 is a common size? wonder were i can find some used rims on the cheap haha

how do i find back space etc? im looking at used rims and they list 8 lug pattern by 6.5? what does tha mean. also listing 200 etc. like i said not a wheel expert :(

New tire sizes are mostly in metric but any dealer can convert that to a metric size I would guess a 35x12.50 would be comparable to a 315/75R16. :c:

Most of the military tires are bias ply tires and won't ride well or wear worth a crap :c:
