I NEED BIGGER TIRES CURRENTLY RUN 35 MTR'S BUT WOULD LIKE TO KEEP MY RIMS WHICH ARE 16'S. I SEARCHED FOR COMPARISONS BETWEEN REGULAR TSL AND SX'S BUT NOT SURE. THE ONLY OPTIONS I SEE ARE THE 38/13 R16 TSL'S OR 38.5/11 R16 BOGGERS. I LIKE MY MTRS AND LIKE THE NEW KRAWLERS BUT NO REAL OPTIONS FOR 16 INCH RIMS AROUND 37 TO 39 INCH UNLESS I AM MISSING SOMETHING. OR SHOULD I JUST GROUND MY CALIPERS GET CONVERSION RIMS AND RUN 15 INCH RIMS AND HAVE ALL THE OPTIONS IN THE WORLD :rolleyes:

Personally I would go to this link Here (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=167971) and get a set of these in 16.5 or 17 and have all the options in the world!

I DONT EXACTLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF THESE RIMS. ARE THEY BEADLOCKED ON THE INNER AND OUTER EDGE ? THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE BEST SETUP. FLAME IF YOU WISH BUT THIS SEEMS A PRETTY NEW THING TO ME. :rolleyes: I WOULD LIKE TO RUN THESE RIMS WITH A SET OF MICHELIN MILITARY TIRES. :p

You can run the Michelin 325/85-16 XML's or 16x11.0 XL's, which are in that size range you mention.

ProComps are available in 15, 16, and 17" rim sizes in their 37" X-Terrain with the XTC compound. If your rig is over 2800 lbs, this is a great tire. Keep in mind that the tread width is 13.5" so the tire will be wider than your MTR's

Basically there is an insert inside the tire the forces the bead of the tire outward pressing on the original rim lip which keeps it from coming off.
