Tire sizes. I lined up a selection of radials that I had around the house for a comparison. From right to left is 31x10.5R15, 235/85R16, 33x12.5R15, 315/75R16.

Ideally I want a tire roughly sizes at 35x10.5, but the only tires I can find in this size are Interco's SSR 35x10.5R16, a radial, roughly $400 each or the TSL Q78-16, a bias ply, roughly $300 each. I've heard bias play tires aren't that great for daily or highway driver vehicles.

I want tall and skinny, but for now I might just put the worn out 315/17R16 Xterrains onto my 16x6.5" 8-lug rims to get a feel for ride height.
