Default 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

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

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

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.

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