Lots of people, to include myself run 285's on stock rims. I'm on my 3rd set so I cant complain....

I think that there are 1 or 2 companies that make them. They are pretty rare. I have personally never seen them. Funny thing is, my brother is an engineer for Michelin (BFG), and I was asking him the other day why they didn't make this size.

Nope, I can't find that size. 275/70-16's are 31" tall and go on 7-9" rims.

What dia tire you looking for?
