does anyone know of a good tyre (radial) with aggressive tread in 36" that will fit a 16" rim. I have 315/75/16 muds and im looking at a 36" as i have new diff gears that would allow this size.
any suggestions/pics would be great, and no i dont want any all terrain crap.

Also:
Simex do a 36" Extreme Trekker - but NFI if it's available in a 16" rim
Then there's Parnelli Jones Dirt Drips they come in a 36x14.5x16 and look like:
Here's a breif extract from Jp Magazine:
"Jp finally has its own tires! Not really, Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip radials have Js and Ps for tread lugs though. We were a little skeptical at first (How would a computer come up with a perfect tread design that just happened to be the same name as our mag?). After running them we can testify that it’s not just a gimmick—they’re real sticky. And they worked great on flat and jagged rocks and in packed dirt. We thought the two-ply sidewalls would be weak. However, we went out of our way to try and pop them with no success. We suspect that they may wear quicker than similar tires due to the minimal amount of tread in contact with the ground and large voids between lugs. However, these characteristics allow the tires to wrap themselves around obstacles like Anna Nicole Smith on rich old men. The 36x14.50 Dirt Grips were sized just about perfect for our needs and are probably the closest thing to our dream of owning 37s. We ran them at 6-7 psi."
