275-50-16's ??

I'm having the worst luck finding 275-50-16 tires. Drag radials would be nice but I would settle for just some nice tires at this point.

Anyone know of a manufacture that sells this size?

i dont know about the "nice" part, BUT i run 295 50 16 BFG's radials in the back, havn't got out of my driveway yet but they look huge! I just wanted the most tire contact patch I could fit. I will have to learn to feather the throttle all over again

but ta radials are far from "nice" but they actually have a 295 for my 16"!

Scot, not sure about that size in "50" series but here are some in the "55" series. Go check this site :MandHTires.com Thet're 275-55-16's. I have some on my GN, mounted on 10" wide GNX style wheels...See the pictures...
hope this helps,

Claude
