No longer made , some inventory still floating around in 15".

Maxxis took over production and tread is similar but lugs are 1/2" instead of 1" deep.

Guess - I gotta pick another tire (Swamper or BFG) or do another
worldwide NOS tire search...

I like finding the impossible.

SAM-22 34x9.5 on 16.5

[shackwrrr]

Tire on Old School Glad- Tall Skinny Mud Tire?

madolin's Buckshot's would of been too easy.
I'll evenually find the size Q Gateway Buckshots........bet on it.

But in the mean time, I need to get some 35"x 10.50 maybe 12 wide and of course the 16.5 for the slots. I wonder about the tires being wide and rubbing the post mount springs, killing the turning radius?

Interco Super Swamper does make the old Denman Ground Hawg, ran a set long ago, directional's.

only problem is the 35 on 16.5 rim is 14" wide.

the super swamper narrow series is only 34" x 9.5 wide for the 16.5 rim.

http://www.intercotire.com/site32.php

It's more for dually's, although my be my best option.
The TSL & SSR's & SX and Iroks all seem to be 12.5 to 15.5 wide for either the 35 or 36"

BF Goodrich with the new KM 2 Mud terrains dropped the 16.5 rim.
They do offer all terrains in 35 x 12.5 x 16.5
I run these on my all my daily drivers and consider them a good multipurpose tire, but not a old Gladiator look tire, too modern.

I'm going with the Hellcreek 4"-6" post mount lift. Guess I'll have to lift it and then measure to see if 36" tire's will fit.

Any ideas?

Just curious, why do you want 16.5's? Are you going to run H1 wheels or something? Otherwise, 16.5's suck offroad because they dont have a safety bead (a very very very few do, but generally they dont). So if they dont have a beadlock, you cant air down.

BTW: You can get the TSL LTB in a 34x10.50. Wider than the 34x9.50 narrows, but not as wide as the 12.50's. (only in 15 or 16" wheels though)

[red mistress]

16.5

I really like the looks of the aluminum 5 slot wheels.

Just say FSJ like no other.

Probably should of just had some custom made 8 lug slots in either a 16 or 17" wheel to make tire choices easier.

There is a mickey thompson wheel that looks very much like a 5 slot. They are not made anymore afaik, but I see them for sale sometimes. Brent from BJ's offroad also posted those wheels that he got that look like 5 slots.

[red mistress]

5 slots

I saw that post and asked about 8 lug, even offered $1500 for set of 8 lugs to get the ball rolling for everyone else.

8 lug not going to be made by their supplier or Stockton,
so I twisted Kaiserman's arm and he sold em to me.

Had to have the 4 3/8 backspacing instead of the more common 4 3/4 BS.

I was searching for these tires, and came across this thread. Figured I'd join and post this link just in case anyone is still looking for this tire. You probably don't hear about them too much any more because we have a bunch of pussies driving "trucks" now adays who ***** about noise and vibrations and such. They want good road manners from a tire, and a bias ply with knobby 1" deep treads simply can't deliver that.

[VAGladiator]

Red Mistress, I've got HC 4" springs and really been looking hard at 36" tires as well, instead of my 33's. They'll fit height wise but width is a problem with the post mounts. I picked up this set of 15x10's at the PA jeep show yesterday, I have 7/8" clearance from the tire to the springs with 12.7" wide TSL radials. BS on these wheels is 3.75".

[COLOFIREMAN]

I think he was looking for the Q78 which is 36x10.50x16.5 heres a picture of it

[Rokerijdud11]

These are the tires he was looking for

Gateway buckshot mudders im running a set of 33's on my 96 grand cherokee right now they are mounted on ford ranger rims painted black
they can still be purchased at ok tires although they are now 220 a piece

these are flat out the best off road tires you can have the narrow tire with 1 inch tread depth is unbeatable they can be aired down and crawl through anything i have had them on my old broncos my old rangers 2 cjs and a cherokee and now on a grand cherokee

one of the MOST aggressive tires ever made bias ply though so you get flat spots over night the pics colofireman posted were the newer Radial buckshots they were no where near the tire that these bias plys are

i raced mud bogs for 7 yrs this was THE TIRE hands down
