I've seen a firestone tire in 8.25r16. Big. Noticeably taller than a 33"
I like 'em, but suspect that they ride about as hard as nails.
No $ for vehicle stuff right now, but when I do have a little to spend, I think I'll go with a Firestone Wilderness ATIII in 255/85r16 on 4runner 16" rims. But in these parts, that's probably $1,200 or so, and a hard upgrade to justify vs. a bunch of little things.

for an everyday tire a bit too much....for normal off road...they dont flex...but....for expedition you want a tire that will not fail.
