Do any of you know if anyone besides BFG makes a 33/9.50/15? The best price I've found on them is 160$ a shot at Discount. The darn things are more expensive than the same tire in a 12.50 and are a "special order unit".

Just an fyi but I'm looking for a good A/T or Mudder that's quiet on the road.

Thanks for your time and patience.

 

They are more expensive because the 33x12.50 is a very common tire size while the 33x9.50 is not as common they produce these in less quantity so they have to be sold at more of a price...and as for your question do they exist try googling 33x9.50 tires and you might get something...

 

33/10.50's are more common and fit fairly well. bfg muds and a/ts, and superswampers come in that size.

It seems that in the states narrow tires have kinda been shunned in favor of wider tires. Back in the day, tall and skinny was the way to go. look at all of the military trucks, 43 in tall tires that werre only 10 inches wide. In austraila the simex tires seem to dominate and they come in 33x10.50 and 35x10.50 sizes. the tread is like 3/4" deep or deeper. I would love to have a set.

 

I am running a set of BFG 33x9.5x15 on my truck I just bought them a couple weeks ago and they are great ! ! ! I paid $135 a tire from discount cuz I got them to price match

 

interco makes alot of the uncommon tire sizes like that.

 

I'm running the BFG AT's in that size.

They are a pain in the ass to get a hold of, but work really well.

I would get the 10.50's personally. They are MUCH more common.

For example, i have road hazard since I usually rip out one to two sidewalls per wheeling season. It takes 3 weeks to get my replacement tires in. So I'm stuck with the spare for all of that time.

The offroad truck market is 80-90% full size trucks that will NEVER go offroad. That is why you see bling, enormous sizes, and very little for the toyota crowd.

The tire companies produce what makes them money. Rednecks with big trucks put a lot of money into penis extensions, which usually manifests itself as 40" tires on a piece of crap ford.

 

Yep....if we could only get hiluxes and Australian tires.

 

I hadn't thought about that. The 10.50's look nice but I can't afford new rims right now and I'm unsure how a 10.50 is going to mount on a 7" stock rim. I mean that's 3.5 inches of difference there.




Yeah that kind of hurt. I used to have 38's on a 97 1 ton/4 door/4x4 diesel Ford. It sure got a lot of chicks at the beach but never saw any thing more off road than that.

my 4runner came stock with 31 X 10.50 on a 15X7 inch rim

 

Sorry bout the redneck comment. I too have a tiny penis.

As for the 10.50 on a 7" rim, that is the ONLY way to go. I just downsized to a 7". 6" would be the bomb, wouldn't need beadlocks then.

TC beats the ever loving crap out of his tires on a 7" rim, and they are a 33x10.50.

No worries there.

 

you can fit a 33x12.50 on a stock toyota rim... If i were you i would run the 10.50 and for the 33x9.50 my buddy had a set of wild countrys that came on his truck when he bought it

 

First of all, there are alot of companies making that size, they just don't advertise them because not alot of demand. I've used them on several vehicles, including the rear of a baja VW bug (they do go thru mudholes pretty good considering the rear engine, smooth pan layout), and a Chevy dually (x6 of course). If the only reason you are going to get that size is because of your factory wheels, make sure that is really what you want to do. Otherwise, you'll get them (really wanting the 12.5's) and a week later you'll come across a free set of 10" rims and wish you had tires to go on them. One downside to such a slim tire is handling. Your truck will feel more sloppy in the turns. I used to be able to turn my steering wheel 1/2 a turn back and forth real fast doing 60mph and the whole vehicle would just sway side to side, but not turn. It was kinda fun, but not how I would want it.

 

In speaking with a BFGoodrich dealer, I was informed that the 9.5" tires are going to be discontinued, as there seems to be very little demand for them. Everyone, it seems, wants 12.5" wide tires.

 

Why are you sorry for that redneck comment? It is the truth.


Tiny penis? Meh, big deal. Lot's of us are of lesser stature "down there". Mine's a bit short I suppose, and still, I have 4 kids. Ain't that a man?

 

BFG website lists the 9.5 as fitting a 6.5" to 8.5" wheel

the 10.5 fits a 7" to 9" wheel

I have 9.5's on 8" wheels. When I replace them, I will get 10.5's (on my FJ40)

 

ok so while were on the topic of tire to rim width I have my 33x9.5 on my stock 7" wide rims and was wondering can I put them on the old school stock steel rims that cam on like the 79-83 yota 4x4I believe they are 6" wide ???

 

I'm pretty sure the stock steelies that came on my truck were 6" wide. As are all the steelie-optioned trucks/4runners. I would check my spare, which is a stock steelie but I just had a bitch of a time getting it back under the truck after this long winter.

 

I have 33x1250s on stock yota rims

Go with the mainstream stuff man

 

these are the rims I am talking about
