9.00R16's (Michelin makes them for the military) cross over to a 255/100R16 - taller than a 255/85 by a full two inches.
The tire I would love to run is Michelin's 8.25R16 or 235/100R16. The only problem is, they are only available in europe.
THIS PLACE has a tubeless 9.00x16 that is 14 ply. I kind of want to try a set but I don't have any chains to fit them.
