im putting a 4' lift on my 30 and am looking for some insight on my tire options..ive done some looking and 255-85-16 and 9.00-16 are about all i can find to keep it tall and skinny but dang both are expensive. im just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. my flat bed is just as wide as my duals now so i dont wanna go with wide tires. ive always liked the tall and skinny look and i need to keep it that way so they arent sticking outside my flatbed slingin crap everywhere.

Are you looking for a street tire , highway traction tire or an all terrain or a mud tire

The two sizes mentioned are about the only thing available for tall and skinny, in the 33'-36' range.

Yeah I hear you on the iroks had them a few years back.

A sick 255-85-16 that's awesome for towing and tire life 40k miles or more is the Toyo m55 it's a commercial traction tire

Falken wildpeak is a great option that's probably a 35k Mile tire and is more of the offroad mud style but wears like an all terrain (quiet too)

For a true allterrain in this size the cooper st Maxx is about the only option I'd recommend

I've had all 3 tires all work great. Just depends on what truck is used for majority of the time.
tow and haull heavy I'd go m55 (used these on a 1 ton dump

Daily but get into some mud I'd go falken wildpeak mt

Daily but rarely get off pavement then cooper stmaxx is for you
