I like the turbines. I have a set on my 77. Had to buy vortrax 16.5s for it.
Were they worth the money? I’ve got a set of 16.5 5 slots and was thinking about buying those tires. Where did you get them? I also really like the turbine wheels!

Yes the tires are great. They are 33x12.50x16.5. They are radials so they ride very nice. I had to get one warrantied and vortrax was great to deal with. Their rep told me they make two runs of 16.5s a year and don't plan to stop production anytime soon. I may list them for sale pretty soon. The truck is a too tall to get in my shop door with the 33s..

That’s great to hear they’re good tires. The only thing holding me back is the price. Do you know of any other tire made in 16.5 that’s more affordable? And I don’t mean the real old style ones from the 40s - 60s style. I’m looking for a more modern look like the vortrac.
Thanks

I'm looking at these for my 84 Sierra until I can get my stock rims restored and put back on

I’m going to go to the Les Schwab dealership today as they’re the ones that carry that Vortrak LT tire and see if they can get them in 16.5. I will let everyone know if they can find them. That’s what I’m looking for to put on my Indy’s.
