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....
