The tire size I'd like to see more manufacturers sell (more specifically, the bigger name manufacturers such as the BFG A/T's, etc.) is 32 x 10.50 x 15 or 32 x 9.50 x 15 (I've heard of a few of the former, haven't heard of the latter).

The reason is because there are tons of advantages to going with the narrower tire for both mileage, & offroading reasons (for most anyways), but also still offering the increased diameter, etc.

 

I wish there were more options for a 33x10.50. There are a few, but not many I would actually consider.

What I'm tired of seeing is all these Mud terrain tires that come in 18, 20, 22, 24 inch rim sizes. They'll make a 37x18.50R24 but they can't make some reasonable 33x10.50R15s???
Honestly, What's with wide tires? They don't look very good and they are not as practical as a reasonable width tire thats tall. Those new Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTZ's come in nothing narrower than a 15.50 width, that just "grinds my gears" to say the least.

 

Yes! There are none that i'm aware of but a 35x11.50x15 or a 33x11.50x15 would be VERY nice to have.

 

35x10.5R15!!!

if a company made a good set of mud tires in this size, i'd be all over it. the only tires you can get in this size are boggers to my knowledge. yeah, boggers are tempting but i like having lateral traction as well, and TSLs are a better all around tire.

Q78s are close, but a little tall for my needs...

 

you can get super swaper ltb (bias ply tire) 34x10.50x15 for $128.99 each

I would like this option.

 

I seen a set of 33x15.5 R15's last weekend....they are crazy....they are too wide for how tall they are.....they just look wrong.

But the MTZ's do come in some normal widths....I'm getting 315/75/R17 (35x12.5) fitted to my 4runnner tomorrow.

 

35x10.50, other than SSR's, and 34x10.50 radials....or hell a 33x10.50 that was 33" tall (I had the BFG A/T's seemed short)... 255/85/16's are good but some are shorter than 33's...DOH

 

That would be a 295/75R16

 

33x10.50-15 is a FANTASTIC size for Toyotas and Jeeps. Seems like there would be a huge market out there for people making this size...

Why the big/wide tires for big rims? Because something like 58% of the "specialty equipment" market is full-size domestic trucks. They make product for those guys, and we're lucky if any of it "trickles down". Not only that, but since almost none of those trucks see serious off-road action, where most Jeeps do, the product is much easier to design and market - all it has to do is look cool!

 

those are the tires i'm going to run pretty quick here, but i'd like to see more choices and somethign slightly larger(these measure out to about 33", then again that's a little less than most radial 35s)

 

Yeah I hate how measurments are off... Its why I have 35's.. I had 33 TSL Bias, 33.7 and didnt want bias anymore.. so why go down in size when 35 BFG's are only 1" taller, .5" on the radius...and heck they are easier to turn..

 

Rim diameter isn't the same.

 

Wow, the opinions on tall & skinny tires has really turned around here, when I put 235/85/16 revos on a while back it didn't get a very warm welcome. I'm looking that the 34x9x16 narrow SS, I think those would be great for my 85. It would be nice to see more options in that approx. size

34/5 X 11.5 X 16 or its metric equivalent...315/75/16's are the closest i think. but i would rather have a bit narrower than 12.5's since i find the 285's plenty wide, just not tall enough

 

I want to see more 32X10.50R15's. There is usually a jump from 31" tires to 35X12.50's that is completely pointless. why not make something more practical?

 

I just got a set of 34x9.50-15 SuperSwampers. Going to work on fitting them tomorrow - looks like the rims have a little too much backspacing and some trimming/beating will be required. Really want to have them on before our OHTTORA trip on the 20th. Look for a review!

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing/hearing about these, I really think that this is an ideal tire for us. And if it's not you just saved me a ton of money

 

That is a great size. Most people would be able to run them with no lift, and with stock rims. I ran 32x10.50x15 Super Swamper Radials for three years before SAS'ing my junk. I think 32x10.50 look perfect on stock Toys:





As mentioned above, the Q78-15 Super Swampers are awesome. They're about 35x11. I've seen several Toyotas and Jeeps with them and they're great.

 

So Troy how did you test fit them? Did you get to play on that test course? Was the rub worse or better than we predicted? What do you have to cut out?
