Not obsolete but getting there...
ProComp: 15031 - Pro Comp Radial All Terrain Tire, 31 x 10.50 R-15 | ShopJeepParts.Com
EDIT: Sorry, the search returned 16.5 but the link sent me to a 15-inch. 2X below with KingBluey... unless ya wanna go 33, 35, or 37 it looks like nary a tire anywhere.
FYI.. Boyce Equipment (utah) carries timed out military tires in 16.5 but not in 31

37" Hummer tires, thats all i can say. i have the same rim size... i got the last two BFG All-terrain T/As i think on the planet.
sorry, mines not stock, (12.5) but either way... time for new set of wheels for me, cant find the tires to fit any longer.

I work at a tire and mechanic shop. The thing about 16.5 are the price. We can get them but they are limited and very expensive. We do tell most people to get rid of them if they can! Sorry i know how it is to have something like that!

Bottom line 16.5 tires are getting harder to find in a tire store with out ordering, even if they can and paying crazy prices.
Most 4 wheel mag tire adds offer stuff in 16.5 but once again crazy price, and yea HUMMER take offs are not so great and are 36 or 37 and sound to big for your needs.
Get new rims that are 16's and enjoy the tons of options at way better prices. I buy all the 16.5's I can get off craigslist cause that's all the rims I have......
