tall skinny tires....

I like the width of my 285/75's (approx 33) but would love to run a 35 inch tires. anyone know if they make something like a 285/85 or 285/95 When i swap again i'd also like to put on a set of wider rims... i was thinking of 16x8, but will do whatever is best for the tire.

I think the best you can get (with the 16'' wheel) is a 255-85. That's what I'm getting next, as I like the tall-skinny look on first gens as well

They're a nice looking tire. I'd love to have a set but I spend most of my time driving on pavement. I bet they are sweet off-road.

Dodge 92 what size would fit stock on our rigs. 37X9X16? Do you have any more pics of how they look stock?

tires

the correct size for these tires is 9.00 16 michelin xl but if you mesure the tires once on a rim when they are pretty much new they are 37 inches high thats the mesure they gave me in the mud runs around here around here with decent meat left on them they still go for around 100 each witch is pretty good

down side to them is they wear kinda funny,they are lound and wear pretty fast on pavement and they are supposed to hydroplane ???witch i never experience yet
up side THEY WORK AWESOME IN MUD and for the rest just take a look at the rigs that have them on that speaks for itself
