Thumbs up 33" ish Thin tire

Howdy, I'm looking at getting a new set of Winter or AT tires. I'm wanting some that are about the size of the 255/80/17 BFG MT because I don't have any wheel spacers.

I'm wondering what options are out there for 16" wheel preferably, about 32-34" tall, and not very wide.


PS. I'm not looking for 285/70 or 285/75 tires.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Since you are willing to drop to 16's...are 15's an option? BFG AT 33x10.50 15

I would drop to 15" but I just bought 4 16" MOAB steel jeep wheels for $100.

I ran 235/85R16 BFG A/T's on my old Chevy. Great in the snow and wear like steel. Think that works out to 32x9.5R16.

I run 255/85/16's on my stock 16's with no spacers and a 2 1/2" lift. They work great although when they wear down I'll go bigger and wider with new wheels.

305/70/16 Goodyear Duratracs are simply the best 32.8" tire available for that size on a 16" wheel. Weight and performance, they are killer.
