biggest tires we can fit? aka real world tire sizes

[troyboy162]

im always looking for my next tire and with IFS and a relitivly stock truck tire selection is hairy on the upper end of sizes 35-37. im just gonna dump info ive found on tires im interested in here.

pitbull rocker radial 315/75/16
84 lbs
$280

its narrower then the bias so we can run them, but its expensive with limited avalibility. also it looks like they run quite small. keep in mind these pictures are not mounted and no weight on them so they are small

[troyboy162]

345/75/16 KM2
74 lbs = 10 more then the 315 version
$280
priced lower then most ~37" tires. fairly lightweight for the size.

oddball size that comes out to 35.5-36.5 depending on who you ask. "Mounted on the truck on stock rims (8" I think), at street pressure they are 35.75" tall and 13" wide.That is how big my 37" Krawlers on 9" rims were....they are just a bit wider than my Krawlers". "The 345 KM2 mounted measures 35.6 so it's technically a true 35" tire. They weigh 74 lbs, which is lighter by several lbs than the 315 Toyos and Nittos many people are running on stock axles with no issue."

q78-16 swamper bias
66 lbs
$240

another odd size that measures 35-35.5 depending on who you ask "Actual measurements on a factory alloy 16x7 are (exactly) 35x10.5"

these are pizza cutter bias. thats a popular configuration around the world for offroading in general. narrow means easier to fit. tread pattern is often modified for differnt terrain

MTR 315/75/16
67 lbs
$250

measure out to ~35 inches with a wide foot print. here they are copaired to a 316 km2. notice the km2 caps severly with my 7" rim compaired to the flat profile of the mtr on a 8" rim

Stolen from Jason. MTR's are high on my list. This shot shows the great height and wide flat profile.

315/75/16 treadwrights
? lbs
$152
a good tire at a cheap tire price. not much info on the 35" variety. the 33" version tended to run a shade large and i assume the 35 will as well depending on what carcasses they offer. Also there is no more warranty on 35"

geez some of those tires are $$$$ O_O

[troyboy162]

the price gets stupid after 315/75/16 i soppose the demand is pretty low so it has to be offset, but id rather someone else paided the offset lol.

[Crinale]

ya i can imagine the demand is much lower past 35"..

[Okie81]

Thought I'd chime in, although I'm running a smaller tire.

I did a lot of homework on Duratracs before I purchased a set. 285/17/16 @ 58 lbs. I came home and measured 33" although they have it on paper as 32.8"

FWIW, 315/75/16 is only 6 lbs more.

[Crinale]

id love to see a 35" duratrac.. would look awesome

[troyboy162]

my friend has the 35" duratrack and it is sick. they let the tread pattern open up even more with more void between the lugs. it looked the same size as steves MTR

[Crinale]

Michlen XZL 255/100R16 aka 9.00R16
weight= 80lbs
price= $300-$1000

Not much chance I would go with these but they are 36.33" and about 10 wide so they could be fitted. They come in clones or retreads ushually since I dont think they have been in production for 10 years or more. The tread would wear like iron on a 4runner and likely be pretty crappy on grip. Each tire is rated to nearly support the whole weight of a 3rd gen

I really wouldn't mind finding some 255/85r16 tires. Perfect size would be 265/80 or even /85. I can dream!

I don't think I have ever seen a /100 tire advertised. Those are some HUGE sidewalls!

[troyboy162]

Yeah i agree. I wish for a 36x11 tire with a normal MT compound and tread. The old 37xr17 km2 was perfect, but also a $400 tire.

[troyboy162]

more 255/100R16 aka 9.00R16
STA Superlug bias tubeless

Kinda a nice compromise of tread pattern. Needs some side lugs buts its usable.

[Seanz0rz]

Bias as in Bias Ply? If so, you couldn't pay me to run those!

[troyboy162]

its for a lifted truck not your 300 lol. I have some more info on those tires that doesnt look as good calling them 34.5" tires. I posted another pic that makes them look 36ish, but if 34.5 is the case then I'd stay with small 315's for the choices and proven performance.

more pics on a H3, but its too ugly to post http://www.hummer4x4offroad.com/forum/showthread.php?1377-06-H3-s-Rancho-build!&p=30616&viewfull=1#post30616

Cant get much info on these particularly the width. Maxxis calls them 35" and 13 wide. 35 looks legit, but they look like a narrow 35 so 11.5-12.5 sounds more realistic. Sounds like a good tire. A little low on tread life, but thats expected for the application
