I just noticed on the BFG website that they offered a MT KM3 255/85R16 and hadn't seen it there before. They state it is 33.1x10. Are you saying they run smaller than the 33.1 they report?

Tires almost always lose 1/2 to 1 inch inflated + weighted. The weighted measurement varies with pressure and truck mass, so the only thing reliably to compare is the published mounted measurement (which of course also varies based on the manufacturer chosen rim width). It is hardly ever apples to apples.
Agree. That’s why I always ask for a mounted level measurement and take in consideration the amount of air and the tire width.
I just tossed a set of 33x10.50-15 KM3s that were 30.5” on 15x7 60 series wheels. Ludicrous.
Anyone running these?
Such a good price I’m tempted to sell my 285/75R17 KO2’s with 7k miles on them and try the Kendas.

Curious to see prices ? We’re they listed on those first 2 pages somewhere ? I couldn’t find any. They look fairly meaty......

I’m sure a similar price is available at ebay and amazon. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and the tread pattern is 70% duratrac and 30% ridge grappler. I bet they road well and do fine in most Offroad conditions.
I had duratracs and they were awesome in snow and quiet* on the road.
A three ply sidewall duratrac clone. In a very useable width.
* for so much tread gap on the outer tire 1/3

245/70/19.5 yeah big rim but hasn't been mentioned yet. 33" x 9.5"
These do have good reviews and they are rated at 12 ply, with triple sidewalls, the first 5 or 6 of 39 reviews were all positive about nice ride and not that loud. These could be a sort of “sleeper tire” for TLC maniacs....such as ourselves !
Hell 245/75/22.5 . Yeah kinda ridiculous semi truck rim but 14ply and 36"x9.5"...
When will some manufacturer grow a set of knugees and provide a line of various tall narrow tires, of various widths etc. ? Somebody needs to lead for once and NOT JUST FOLLOW THE CROWD !
Afterall,...us “maniacs” are gettin’ restless...
I have been watching the kenda's for a bit now and will probably try them once I get a set of 17's for my new to me 200. FWIW here is one of the early reviews of them . A lot of forum people seem to like them also. http://www.fourwheeler.com/news/1805-kenda-klever-rt-first-impressions/
So I was poking around on Alibaba and there are plenty of china makers out there that can do custom sizes. Thought it might be worth a gamble to shoot them a message and see what it would cost etc to get a tall skinny option made. 255/90/17 would get you 35"x10". I've never seen a 90 tire, is there a reason for this?
I would be interested in 37 inch X10 for my truck, but I suppose a majority would want what you had described above.
I would love someone to make a 37x10.50r17...
