Im lookin for new tires, i want an agressive tread. 33x12.5x16.5 are the size anyone have any suggestions?

Oh yea i need them to be under 600


I kno im cheap

 

the lowest ive seen around here for new 16.5 is 175 a tires plus tax good luck finding some for 600$

 

The new dodge trucks with the 20" rims have tires that are $375 a piece to replace... that's why moms truck scares me...

 

ProComp makes good tires, at a really good price. On trucks as heavy as ours thogh i'd expect only about 20-25k out of the MT's and probably 30-35k on the A/Ts. Just remember, the more agressive the tread, then usually the less milage you'll get.
Yokohamas (sp?) get great milage and traction too.

 

I am running Yokohamas now and I really like them. I'm running the HT-S tread, not what you're looking for, but I can attest to them having great on road traction on both dry and wet conditions.
And they were a LOT less $$ than the big name tires. My 265/75-16 were $90 each.

The most expensive tires round here are Big Foot Xts the thing is ive only found 3 tires that work with my rims Courser MT Wild Country Rvts and Big Foot XTs the wild and coursers are like 550 somethin but i dont kno if they are a good tire

 

Why are you having so much trouble finding tires that fit your rims? There should be a huge selection for 16's and 16.5's

 

16's are easy to find and find fairly cheap, but 16.5's are spendy. I have 16.5x10 rims with 31/10.50's and they look way too small. I just dont want to spend $700 for better looking ones yet.

Those military tires look ok though. I am more of a fan of 38x14.50's, but that has to wait.

 

16s are easy to find. 16.5s are not. Hardly anyone makes them anymore

 

I have a couple sets of 16" tires from my silverado, but i need to buy some 16" rims.

 

I have 4 235/85/16.5 m/s tires that have approximately 80% of tread life left to them. I have them on 16.5 wheels are would gladly give them away if you come pick them up. The downside is, of course, I live in Modesto, CA.
If you're planning on a visit out this way let me know or I will have to just set them out in the front yard at a yard sale.

 

Dodge 92, how are the road manners of those XLs? I really like those even more now. Where can a guy find a set of them in the lower 48?
Fearthedeere I have 33x12.50x 16.5 Kuhmo Venture MTs. They are a good wearing tire and I have had good luck with them. I will be selling them with the chrome mods as soon as I find a new set of 16" tires.
I like the Mastercraft tires and have had great luck with them in the past.

 

there not bad on road but they are hard and noisy and heavy but i still think there AWESOME so do a lot of the guys i had to pull out of the mud
