Say it aint so! I hope not... when I looked for my 33s I wanted muds. Could not find them, had to settle for the All Terrians and they were not easy to find. I put about 3000 miles a year on the burb, so I figure I can get some years out of them as long as they don't crack off.

I love the deep dish steel look... and the offset on my wheels are good. Oh well, time will tell. If I can get into another deep dish steel in a 16 inch, or 17 inch and throw a mud, or A/T - I'll be happy. I may have to have some made...

Maybe Coker Tire will decide to get into the 16.5 off road tire market (doubt it).
