what kind of wheels do you have? I was thinking about getting some 16.5 wheels for my superduty so I could run the cheap hummer tires. but they are pretty hard to find and it is a dying size.

I have 16.5s on mine with BFG AT tires. I have been looking into getting some new tires also and it seems that BFG is about the only option out there. Thats ok though because I think I am gonna get the BFG MT next.

You may have to get a second morgage on your house to buy a set. My brother in law was checking all the tire shops for a set and the cheapest he could find was $250.00 each for 265/75. It would take them 3 weeks to get them.

15" tires are the cheapest, then 16.5" are 2nd cheapest, all the other rim diameters a quite a bit more expensive
