HZJ tires

[lshobie]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to figure out what tiresI should try out this time around. I need a set for an HZJ with 16 inch rims and would like to get 33 tall 10.5 or even thinner. I like the bfg 33x9.50x15's but there is no equivalent in 16 inch.

I also want them to be a/t's. All I have been able to find that interest me are Revo's and BFG's AT's but the 33's they make are 11.5 inches wide, or if i go to a 32 then I can get a 9.3. I like thin as they work better in most offroad conditions, and I find them easier on the drivetrain/steering components.

Any suggestions?

Will mostly be for road use with some hardcore mud and snow wheeling on occasion.

Thanks for your help.

235/85R16 or 255

Hmm, that gives me just under 32 inches in a BFG a/t, would like a bit more height, but maybe a smaller tire is better for that engine.

 

[denis]

but that would be *true* inches as opposed to the usual *advertised* inches.
If you can find the 255/85 in AT -nothing available here- you'll be golden. It doesn't really get any tall/skinnier

Good point.

255/85R16

Cooper ST (more open tread, deep tread, siped)
Toyo M-55 (more streetish tread, used by many on mining/logging backroads)

Someone on this site started a thread about 255/85R16 sizes and makes available. Forget which section.

My local tyre dealer says he can get a 34 inch tyre to fit a split rim ,maybe like the 255/85R16 Greg mentioned
It has about 9 in of tread.
Beanz2 has something like that on one of his cruisers
