    tall tyres

    I'm looking for a set of tall but not to wide all terrain tyres
    something like 265 or 285/85-16 would be perfect
    (looking for close to 35" tall but NOT 12+" wide)
    anyone know any brands that come in this size?

    I can't find anything in the major brands, closest I've found is coopers do a 255/85 (& BFG a mud tyre in 255/85 also) = 33"
    reason? I'm jacking up the fender to fit some 36" simex play tyres but will run some all terrain tyres as a daily driver & I don't want it to look silly on std 235/85's (32") with huge wheel arch gaps

    thanks
    Jase

    Tyres

    I have just finished a D1 for a customer and we fitted 255 /85 /16 Maxxis Bighorn mud Terrains. Very close to a 35" and fitted under a D1 with a 4" lift and a bit of front and rear guard trimming. Great on road and very good off road.

    Worth a look.

    I think most 35s start at a 10.5 and go up from there.

    Yeah I think the 8.25R16's are about a 34 or similar. Very much truck tyres though.
