¿What tire size do you wish existed? But does not.

if you can't afford to buy or store multiple sets of tires

Since you don't run the MTs in the winter, the cost is the same. I buy from my local tire shop and they do the change overs, twice a year, for free. Even if you lack space to store winter tires lots of retailers will store your out of season tires.

The "I can't afford them" is not a thing. The cost per mile is the same.

Meh, my mud tired truck hibernates in the winter.

I get it out to bust snow drifts in my field but it doesn't go play in the saltwater on the roads.

I used winter tires and they blew away the MTs and ATs

What did you use?

What did you use?

Cheapest ones I could find, Yokohama Geolanders I think. On old, $20 steel rims. WAY better than any AT/MT.
Better traction, safer winter travel, you SAVE money instead of adding miles to those pricey AT/MT.
Anyone saying they cannot afford winter tires has not looked at the entire picture.

It's a financing question, not a question or value. I'm convinced an EV is right value for me, alas if I don't have the upfront capital, I can't enter that stage. The Pauper's Plight.

Is this thread about snow tires or unavailable tire sizes?

I want a good AT or hybrid 295/75r18. 36x11. Perfect for a light lift on a Ram HD or Superduty without needing a gear change.

Put it in the budget for next fall.... that will add 2? years to the tires you have now. 1 set of tires lasts 4 years 2 sets of tires last 8 years. Don't buy them both in the same year.

Any size as long as it has 75 profile sidewalls!

75++, preferably between 80-90% ;-)

I actually do have two sets of tires. I was saying I do get the challenge of buying two sets!

35.42x11.61r18 I just sold a set 295/70r18 (went to 275/70r18) as honestly they were just too big for the LC100, in practice measured larger diameter than my old 315/75r16 (which is totally find but rubbed my fender at the slightest turn) How about 285/80r18?

Exactly. My last set were the 315/70r18 Toto MT. Right height but too wide and aggressive.

I would like a 255/85/16 with a mild all terrain tread like a yokahama geolander or michelin ltx. A 265/85/16 would be even better.

With tires you also have to take into account there is a huge difference between manufacturers on the same size tire

Agree! To this end I get super frustrated with manufacturers that make it difficult to get the specs.

Also the metric profile tire size is just stupid. Should just be wheel size, tire diameter, tread width and section height all in mm (except the wheel). Be so much simpler.
