9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I can find em in 16.5 but not 16's. I really like these...

Check out links below. Some of the guys on the Power Wagon forum use them. Not as tall, but I have 235 85 16 on my '72 Blazer and they look pretty good. Much cheaper and readily available compared to the 9 x16.

7.50/16 is all i have seen. Deesstone has a 7.50/16 that is 32.2" tall and is tubeless.

Coker makes a 900x16

How much room do you have in the wheel wells.? I run a 255-85r/16 radial. They are almost 33'' tall and about 8'' wide, they are awesome in the snow.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Ya know, I was kinda embarrassed because these are for a Ford :ack: i just picked up. I'm Chevy all the way but this thing was cool.

you just poisoned the well!!! just kidding,I'm not a ford fan but those old high boys are kind of cool,I had a 75 high boy once...

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I figured i'd catch it :lol:

1969 ( anything made in 69 is cool in my opinion, what a pivotal year) F 250 4X4 360 manual, basically a one owner truck with 79,000 original miles, surface rust, no rot.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Not a Ford guy either but that's a Truck. It sez beef all over it. LOL. You could beat the snot out of them and still get home for dinner.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Not a ford guy either, but nothing wrong with them. Nice tk. Nothing to do with vintage stuff, but my buddy Just bought a new Raptor (he's 72) and all i can say is WOW!

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

LOL that's a fact. Sounds like a mid life crisis. Read somewhere that GM was punching out some COPO Camaros. 572 cubes in one of those just makes me giddy. take the $$$ out of my 401k and well you get the idea :devil:

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I have these 9.0-16 tires, they are biased ply and I don't really like them. They don't ride good and get flat spots after a couple days of sitting.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Check out the Goodyear Dura tracks. I bought 4 for my suburban I plow with. I absolutely love them the suburban goes anywhere in the snow now

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I had them and they are a great tire but not skinny!! I had them on a 6-7" rim and still pudgy. Mounted on 10" even better lol.....

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Nothing has the look of the old bias-ply traction tires, but they are getting pretty rare and bias-plies left a lot to be desired when it comes to living with them.
If you want tall & skinny with a period-correct look, how about 255/85-16 Coopers on a 16x7" wheel?

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Those coopers do look like they belong on that truck.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

It's deceiving, but a 9.00-16 is a whole heap of a lot more tire than a 9.50-16.5. Seems funny with the numbers being all bigger, but that 9.50s is a tiny tire compared to a 9.00-16. No comparison what so ever. Ifyou want a 16 close in size to a 9.50-16.5 I think you need about a 245/75 or 265/75-16. I didn't look up the numbers, but 16.5 tires were short and wide profile. Basically, they were the truck equivalent to a wide oval.

Thanks Tim, just what I wanted to hear.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Ordered some Samson 9:00X16 mud and snow tires, not cheap ($205 ea plus $135 shipping) but they are what I was looking for. They should be in Monday, I'll post pics...

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Cool! I went with 750 16's on my 52. They were a lucky C/L find. But they will wear out.

Ended up with 9:00X16

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Looking awesome there!

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Perfect. If it looked any better it would have to be a Chevy or GMC :lol:

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Very impressive looking -- definitely old school!!

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Those look great. How tall are they?

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Real close to 34 1/2 inches on a 16 inch rim.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

That tread looks just like the old Goodyear Extra Tractions. I ran those on a truck years ago (9.00-16).

I'd like to have a dream collection of 67-72 era 3/4t 4wds... 1 GMC, 1 Chevy, 1 Ford, 1 Dodge, 1 International, and 1 Jeep. Any mechanical or servicing aspects that put GM ahead of the rest when I started my life long relationship with K/20s and K2500s are non-issues now that they are precious toys not daily driven.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I'm with you

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

How do you like the ride on the pavement? Are they wearing in well? Im getting ready to pull the trigger on some Power King Super Tractions...I know these are off road tires but it's one of my bucket list items. Tall skinny MT's. Have you noticed flat spotting if it sits?

Nice truck, nice tires....I have GMC's & Fords-

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

How do the tires feel for you?

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I had the 9.00 x16 power kings ok my 87 v10 and they were horrible. Had the tire shop true them but nothing worked. They rode bad and flat spotted. I went with Firestone mt's they have a kinda vintage look and ride great.

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

The tires are rough and rugged. Looked to be a bit hard to balance, not surprised. Only drove it twice so we'll see. I expect it to be rough on the road, didn't buy em for their road manners ;)
I like em

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

Those look great too, how much did they set you back per tire?

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

I love that thing! I was considering those but decided to take a step back and run a more on/off friendly tread in a shorter tire since I run mine all over the place in good weather. I got 285/75 Goodyear DuraTracs mounted on an 8" wheel. It's a narrower profile than a 33/12.50 and wider than a 255/85, perfect for an 8" rim. The truck was originally lifted 4" last summer to accommodate a set of 35/12.50-16.5 BFGs on 9.75 slots for a totally '70s wide track look. I had the 35/10s mounted on 7" Accurides in mind for a play set. Is that what wheels you have?

Re: 9.50 X 16 mud and snow skinny tire, do they make em?
 

The tries were about $900 shipped. I got them from the blemish list on the Interco web site.
