Default what 37x13.50 or 12.50 x16 mud tires are out there???

I'm having a hard time finding 37x13.50x16 mud tires or even 12.50x16.
I have seen 14.50 but that's going to be too wide.

is 16" rim just not popular anymore? I can't find crap for a good mud tire for a 16

Am I just going to have to buy 17" rims?

edit: i do not want Interco or Pro Comp

I sold my 16" wheels and bought 17's when I moved to 37's. There are some, but the selection kind of sucks for 16's.

A few of the 37's for 16" wheel are the PJ dirt grips, swampers, cooper STT in the 325/80/16, Mickey Thomson baja claw 325/80/16 as well.

thanks man. yea I'm finding the selection is not good. I will check out the PJ and the mt baha claw, but I don't want swampers untill this becomes a second vehicle. Still daily driver. the cooper is not aggressive enough for my offroading. I have worn down these pro comp a/t and ready to move on

it's looking like I may have to buy 17" rims

found it
345/75/16 = 36.4x13.6/16 I think I would be willing to sacrifice a 1/2" to not have to buy new rims

I was looking for a true 37, guess that's why I over looked it.

thank a lot man

I went with 37's Iroks on a 16. Not great for wear but not near as loud our as rough as you would think. They are actually better mannered than the 35's Mud Grapplers I was running. For a DD I would think you are on the right track.

Default 37's on 16"

You could always go with Maxxis Creepy Crawlers if you want to spend $480/tire
