Tall skinny tires

[groundeater]

mighty fine !

 

[47coeman]

I've been talking with a tire manufacturer recently, and they are considering making a tall/skinny overland type tire...the old Super Swamper Q78s were my baseline.

First, whats the "ideal" size? I'm thinking a 36x10.5 on a 17" wheel....but that also means finding narrower 17" wheels...hhmmm

Also, an agressive mud terrain, an all terrain, or one of the newer crossover patterns? I'm leaning crossover myself...

Looking for input, would be a 2018 size release.

Been thinking of the same idea 36 is good 37 would be perfect. Have the 17”x8” wheels some of the last Stockton wheels made before going out. The crossover pattern is also my choice,

Nitto and Toyo both make a 38x11.5x17

See post 738 on previous page.
Picture angle doesn’t really do it justice how narrow they are.

Anyone know what the skinniest 37x12.5r17 tire is?
Looking to install on my LX570. Would love to do the 37x11.5 Recon grapplers but I heard they are pretty bad in daily rain and snow....

This looks sensational. Thanks for sharing!

Does 33x10.5 count? CST Land Dragon.

84x24cm measured at 2.5 bar on a 5.5" rim.

Great choice, looks excellent! I've been running the Toyo R/T Pro in the 35x11.5 /17 size on my '06 Power Wagon and really liking this tire a lot. Some great narrower size options too outside of the normal variant which is nice to see. I wish the load rating on the narrower sizes was closer to the 12.5 width. Overall it's been a very solid tire.

When my yokos are dead I will be going to 35x11.5s I was eyeballing my clearance to my bmc and I could definitely go taller.

The Cruiser is coming along nicely. Those are some aggressive looking tires, similar to comp spec for Rainforest Challenge

 

[Gubbtratt1]

As close to comp spec as you can get in 33s I believe. Same tread design as CSTs comp tyres, just a bit harder rubber and shallower tread depth.

Skinnies all the way around

Are they doing 9.00x16 at all?

I really like the way the xzl s look and their reputation for being extremely durable would give you peace of mind if you're taking your LC somewhere your health and safety depend on that durability. Expensive but it will be worth it to some. ... Only negative thing I've ever heard about xzl s is that the traction is not as good as a softer more pliable sidewall tire with side biters.

Loving the Kanatis, they're eating up the terrain in Moab.... Other than my own stupidity they've been flawless. I ripped open a sidewall backing off the trailer when I got here.

Really nice 4Runner you got there! I wouldn’t mind getting one down the road! Love the 79-83 pickups as well.
