Re:Info on a 33x12.50x16 LOAD RANGE "E"???

I'm with quantrill88, I'm running the 33x13.50 Swamper Trxus, except in the STS series. They are the worst wearing tire I have ever owned, but they do look mean (see my pic gallery,Here , for a recent photo). I've got about 10,000 miles on them, they will be bald by 15,000. At least I'll have a good set of pulling tires by summer though ;D
I'm thinking I'll go with the Nitto's, I read somewhere on here they have an excellent treadwear rating.

Ok here goes an attempt at an explanation:<br><br>There is an official guide that all tire manufactures are suppose to use to design tires. For FLOATATION sizes, (31,32,33,etc) that official guide is &quot;The Tire and Rim Association INC&quot; Now according to this book, 2002 copy, these are the sizes listed as floatation in '33':<br>33x10.50R15LT load range c<br>33x12.50R15LT load range c<br>33x12.50R17LT load range c or d (105 = c; 114 = d)<br><br>There is no 16 in size listed. Now if some of you have seen a 33x12.50R16 then there is no design data to support it. Not saying it doesn't exist, just saying there is no standard for design. There are however a lot of import tires out there, so I guess you could take your chances.<br><br>No flame intended, just providing info on something I know a little about.<br><br><br>Oh Yeah, check www.tirerack.com they have about every size and manufacturer know and even they don't list a 33x12.50R16.<br><br>Tim
