Cant find 16" tires
Hey guys, I am looking for a pair of 295/50r16 tires
I have a pair of Maxxis Bravo HT 750 in that size which I bought about a year ago and have recently been looking everywhere for that size and cant find them anywhere. What gives?
PS these would be going on a 10" rim on a 2wd truck but in my searches see that some people have ran this size on their thirdgens (prob rear only) so thought Id ask. I know my 87 z28 had 16" rims and Im sure a lot of you guys are running 16s as well. Thoughts?

Re: Cant find 16" tires
I think they are not in production any more. BFG used to make that size years ago, but no more. You can find a drag radial in 275/55/16 from m&h, but the 16 inch sizes are limited to 245/50 and 255/60 unless you try and find a light truck tire. I don't think any manufacturers are making factory wheels in 16 inch anymore which I think is the biggest reason why the 16 inch tire selection is disappearing.

16" is a thing of the past as stated not being made anymore try a custom tire shop not a tire kingdom when I needed odd ball stuff I got it from the rim shop it took some time but they got it for me
