-BFG mud-terrain (m/t) maybe the all-terrain (a/t) i dont remember if the a/t comes in 35
-Super Swamper makes alot of 16.5s more than anyone
-Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips-my next tire
BFG probably best on road, Parnelli probably not as good but still good and great look and preformance off-road, super swamper the SSR is probably best bet from them unless its all mud then get boggers, some people say the SSR is ok on road but my understanding is its a 15k mile tire highway (Super Swampers aren't great tires if your on the street most of the time)
www.tirepackage.com is good
www.desertrat.com has the parnelli Dirt-grips
www.tirerack.com is always good, but only has the BFGs

Swampers have a lot of 16.5s...
But soon there wont be anybody making 16.5 tires, so you might think about getting rid of your rims before no one will buy them...
Thats what I did...

16.5" rims were kind of an ilegitimate child to begin with. Now everyone is pretty much going to 16", 17", 18" or 20". 16.5" wheels won't fit on 2005 up Super Duties, and a lot of other newer trucks.
Edit/ Sorry, didn't know that was considered a bad word here, I have changed it to a less offensive word.

Last time I went shopping for new tires...
Almost every dealer, and even asked some of my buddies that work for tire places...
They all said the same thing... most manufacturers are getting rid of this size... not sure exactly why, but thats what they all said
I am sure there will be military tires of that size still, but it will become more and more difficult to find this size tire...
