    For a 16" rim, is the biggest I can run 315/75/16? I'm looking at BFG M/Ts, MTRs, etc and that's teh biggest I can find. I have that size in an MTR right now, but I'd like to go bigger to maybe a true 35 or 36"

    Seems like 16" stuff is hard to find. What's so hard about making a 36x12.5x16?

    15" rim would be nice, but they won't find I don't think without some crazy grinding. D60/D70 axles.

    Have you tried any of the lesser known brands, like Nitto or even Maxxis?

    I'll have to look. This is on my DD, Swampers would burn up in no time. I need a decen load rating on them as well, truck isn't too light.

    I've heard good things about Nitto and Maxxis. Definitely worth checking out. I think somebody here runs the "Creepy Crawlers" and likes them? They also make more street friendly tires too I believe, especially Nitto.
