What tall skinny tires are out there?

Ouch, rough turn around. Received MT reply yesterday.


Hello,

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend putting the tire on a wheel larger than its recommended range. However, if you were to do that, you would see a stretched appearance and might experience uneven wear.

Oh, I am not at all surprised a tire manufacture [representitive] says not to do that. A 10” wide tire on an 8.5” wide wheel. As often as people put 12.5” wide tires on 7.5” wide wheels… I’m going to say… eff it and probably do it anyway. People stretch tires all the time. Is a 1/2” really going to be remotely/overly detrimental to the longevity of the tire?
I am no expert, but…

IN NH you have to keep the tire within the fenderwell..also in heavy snow wide tires tend to float instead of diggiing in ...AND I hate tires that stick out too far!..Kenda Klever RT 35/10.5/ 17 fit thd bill with stock Willys wheels petfectly!

The Kenda are my second choice, but with a little bit of poke. Currently sitting in my Trail Built Offroad cart.

Looks great! I’m going to give it some time but may end up going with 34x10.5r17 KO2. Even though I’m in cook county Ill where basically anything goes I don’t like my tires sticking out far either.

Mjolnir, I'm not a dick, actually one of the nicest people you'll meet. It's just that l see way too often where a guy asks a simple question and the hoard attacks trying to make him look like an idiot for doing so.
I figure if you no the answer then just give it, if you don't then don't.
