Seems like there arent any skinny 35" - 38" tyres out there (ie: 35-10.5-15 or 16's. Anyone know of any 10-11" wide 35-38's? I really hate fat tyres on our rigs.

I saw some Michelin's on Expeditionexchange.com that were 36 high by 9.00. I think they are called XZL's. They are a military tire, pretty aggresive and didn't look too skinny. No price. I want a set.

Pretty much looking for a rugged DD (MT). At 35-38" I'm realistic for DD use, and figure that it may simply come down to Interco Swampers.
SS TSL's come in a 38-12.5-15, but dont know what kind of milage one would get out of them...at 38" 12.5" would look skinny and still fit on an 8" rim (which is a HUGE plus).
SS Boggers come in a true 38-12-15, but its a terrible tyre in many circumstances, and would last nill.
Seems all the DD 35's are midgets (ie: 34's), and anything larger is destined for road noise (which is fine).

there is a 35-10 swamper im pretty sure there Q78's there like a 36 im pretty sure they measure 35.75" tall
I am running 36" Super Swamper TSL radials and they are working good. Drive well on the road with some road noise and handle great off road. They are 36 x 12.5 x 15's but the tread measures 9.5 inches wide.

What wheels are you running?
i had some 38x12.50 tsl radials on a set of 15x8 inch rims. no pics, but it was my favorite aggressive tire setup i've ever had. definitely had the tall skinny look.
You can get a 35x10.50 swaper SSR
Simex Extreme and Jungle Trekker tires might work for narrow and tall. Can u get them in the USA?

IIRC the XZLs have been discontinued......
reviving an older thread....
xzl's are not discontinued. The Iraq war is using up all these tires.
I asked my local dealer to price them, one tire was in stock at a warehouse at that time...here the kicker $549.00 a tire CAD. Which is 500 ish US dollars.
I won't be buying those.
How bad are the TSL bias plys on the road? The Q78 looks about what I think I might want.

hey brownbear, personally i wouldnt run bias ply on the road, my buddy ran the ss ltb and the tread was toast in a matter of months, just too soft for a daily driver, my opinion
ya I don't want soft. The gravel I drive would tear em up. I want to head north to the arctic circle on a trip and some of the softer tires won't work.
The new BFgoodrich Mud terrains look alright.
I run a 16x6 rim. It limits the tire sizes.
The size I most likely will run is a 255/85 R16. 33.3 inches big. 10 wide. The new mud terrains come in this size.
