My one ton Suburban has had 16.5 inch wheels and tires on it since the late '60s. When my Dad turned it over to me in 2014 for the drive from Wichita to Oregon, it needed two new tires for the trip. I had no problem at the time finding new B.F. Goodrich 12.50 x 33 x 16.5 radial tires at a shop in Wichita.
