Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a skinny (less than 12") tire in 35" or 36" diameter for street and offroad (@ 5x5.5 bolt holes)? I already know of michelin xl/xml/xzl tires, but I'm wondering if there's more out there. Any suggestions? The truck is a 78 f150 4x4. Thanks,

Chris

 

You might check with Big O they might have a tire like that, except I dont know about the bolt holes, most tires I've checked dont have bolt holes, and if they do I usually change them as they dont roll very well.

 

What kind are you looking for AT/MT? Super Swamper makes a 34" skinny tire in the LTB line.

 

you would have to look around and find them but they have them. more than likely the military and industrial tires would be your best bet.

of course i doubt they come from the factory with bolt holes....whatcha gonna bolt to it? more tread .

a tire is gonna be 35-36" tall and have a diameter of 12.5".....the wheel has the bolt holes but they rarely come together as one.....they haven't found a way to weld a rim to a tire and still hold air! and if you ever find a 35" wheel for light truck use...let me know!

try these guys....they make a lot of industrial and commercial use tires http://www.denmantire.com/catalog.php
good luck finding a wheel that fits it and your truck though.

 

Thanks for the replies. The bolt holes number is for my wheels/rims. I just didn't want someone replying that they'd found some 36" x 9" tires, but would require 20" rims. The normal wheel sizes for 5x5.5 bolt holes is 15, 16, 16.5 and 17 (I think). I already have 33" BFG's and am looking to upgrade.

I think Buckshot makes or used to make a 36x 10.5 ......but I can't seem to find them listed anywhere now, its been a couple years since I have seen them.

 

I can't recall what the Q78s are.........those are a pretty skinny mud tire...

 

Yeah dude I gotta second those who advise against tires with that bolt mattern already in them, they really blow for all types of driving.

Interco has a TSL SS 35.5x10.5 for your 15" wheel.
They also have a TSL SSR 35x10.5 for the fifteen.

I like the tall skinnies too but your options really open up if you can take a 12.5 wide tire.

 

can someone fit a 33x12.5r15 tire on an 8" rim? How about a 7? what's the max?

 

i run 35x12.5's on the stock spoke rim which is 7 or 8, 10 is prolly the best rim to run it on

 

a 12.5 can be run on an 8" rim no problem. It's what i'm going to be doing once i save up another $450 for rubber.

305/85/16 and q78 Buckshot Mudders are 36" tall and 10.5" wide for 16" rims. Also try michelin 9.00x16 radials.

 

how do you know the sizes? is there a chart you can present to us? i knopw a lot of us don't understand the Q78 or 9.00x16 sizing system. please enlighten us.
