Ok so I have been looking around at tires to buy and wanted to see if you guys knew of anything out there I had not run across yet. I would like to have a 34-36 inch diameter tire (actual height) that is 9-10 inches wide. I also want a radial. I found some michelin xlz's and goodyear makes some as well - both kinda over the road military ish type tires. I haven't found a great deal on these and they are only in 16" rim that I can find. The size is either 255/100r16 or 9.00r16 (same size). These are some really tough tires, steel sidewalls etc. BFG last time I checked does not make a 37 in a 15" rim, and at least initially I need to use the rims I have. I really like the BFG mud as an all around tire - good tread life etc. So basically - is there anything out there that ya'll know about that I don't? Thanks.

35x9 would be a really skinny tire.
I really like my new trxus mt at 35x12.5x16 smooth riding and sticky. You can have a look at them in a bit...

Interco makes a 36x12.50R16 TSL radial. Thats what I have and when you mount them on a 7 or 8 inch wide rim they get even skinnier. They are prety damn good tires and arent too expensive for a tire that size.
