I've seen them referred to as "pizza-cutters." It's basically just a reference to a higher-profile tire, like 80 or more. I know low-profile and big wheels are all the rage, but I need something practical for my old Dodge pickup. I have had no luck finding something in a narrower light truck tire at a minimum overall diameter of 34". That is what this particular truck needs to run it's 4.10 gears at an acceptable highway speed. It's running 285/75 17's now, which are perfect, except a bit too wide, IMO. In fact, that is why I went wider than I wanted 5 years ago - because I couldn't find the size I really wanted. I found a narrower P-metric mud tire a few years ago I'm presently using for a spare, but they seem to have disappeared from the market now as well. Anybody know anyone still making an LT tire in something like an 80 or 85 profile for a 17" wheel?.
