Alright, it is time for new rubber for the road and all the threads I see out there are for 18" rims. I have the original 16's on my 99 and last time simply replaced them with 4 of the same bridgestones. I like the Nitto Terra's but don't see a size that makes sense. So....what to do, what to do?

I will be watching this post closely, as I too have 16'' rims and need new tires.
While I don't see Terra Grapplers in the stock 16" size, I do find that Tire Rack has Bridgestone "REVO" in that size for $137 ea. (didn't check the shipping)

I know from personal experience that these are top notch tires on & off road, wet, dry & in snow.:thumbup:

Off roading...not off roading that's a good place to begin. Off roading go for traction not off roading go for quiet.

I agree, the stock size tires look puny after you've had 265's or larger on.
But if you can't stand the fact that your speedo & odo are gonna be off, or can't stand the thought of trimming the cladding, what other choice do you have?:rolleyesg...bummer.

Pretty much anything in a 31x10.5x16 (265r/75/16)will work. If you crank the front t-bars just a bit (take out the downward rake of the front end) the trimming will be kept to a very minimum. The BFG TA's, Mud Terrains and most others will be easy to find in that size. Plus if you ever decide to lift they still look good!
