looking for tires to fit 12.5 R16.5 rims

[Irish_Alley]

im searching the web and found super swampers on summit but im looking for a better road tire for my 91 v3500 crew cab. wouldnt mind Goodyear all terrain but again i cant find them. want to try 33s (a friend has some i might borrow) but 31s i think will work

Just a fyi just got off the phone with a friend who works at a tire shop and 16.5" tires are discontinued. so used or swampers are the only option

Yeah 16.5" tires haven't been in use or around for a long long time. 16" is the norm now.

Power King Tire still lists some 16.5" tires light truck tires, but they're bias-ply highway rib.

wonder what the pawn shop will give me for my rims

  I thought that BF Goodrich still made 16.5" tires in 33" & 35" sizes. If not, I might be in trouble because I collect 16.5" slotted rims (up to 6 sets now).
  I know that Goodyear still makes 37" tires  for the Military Hummers, but they are to big for my needs.

yeah i was hoping goodyear still made them but according to the tire lady everyone stopped. i think i might sell my rims before someone else finds out lol

They list many sizes of 16.5" tires, including mud grips and highway rib...

I know someone who has ordered from them and had good things to say about the company.

thanks, checking on them now. once that might fit my rims are 32.8" tall, i might have to trim some fenders lol
