Just about got all the rebuilding done on my one ton axles and want to buy a tire and wheel combo. I want at least a 35 on a 16 inch rim. What are my choices?
Tallest narrow tire?

Yea--not having any luck. I need something tall though. Trying to make up for the clearance of the big one ton stuff.

255/100 R16 Michelin XZL. 36x10.5 equiv.
35x10.5 Super Swamper SSR
And of course, the 255/85 offerings, but that might not be tall enough for you.

I have always ran tall and skinny tires and have had very good results in all type terrians.
A couple of the guys I ride with have Discoveries, one runs the 36x12.50R16LT Super Swamper Radial and the other runs the 34x9.00-16LT Special Service Super Swamper TSL they both perform very well.

What tires are those in the picture of your truck?

What kind of tire are you looking for? I'm running Cooper Discoverer STT 315/75 16. It's 34.6". Armortek3 sidewall, which is a bias ply over radial as I understand it. MT type lugs, already siped. D rated http://www.coopertire.com/html/products/tires_lighttruck.aspx?page=discoverer_stt If you look at the site, you'll see they have a number of size choices.
So far I like them. Not to much road noise compared to my last tires which were Yokohama Geolander AT's. For an AT those were a bit noisy.

with one tons, you actually have more choice.
in addition to the tsl and michelin tires, bfg makes a 37x12.5R17, and i think maxxis and MT make a 37x12.5R16 in various tread patterns. that'd be an 85% aspect ratio. going much higher on the a/r increases the likelihood youll fold the sidewall at low pressure.
