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.

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.

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.
