40" Tires Help?

i was just curious and started looking around and couldnt find 40" tires anywhere and was wondering where i could find them? i cant find em anywhere. the only tires in 40" i think there are really though are the toyo's....and iroks.

also my friend just totalled his 03' f-150 with 35's and got a chevy with 11 inches of lift and 39's and he wants to go 40's so im trying to help him

thanks

What rim size are you looking for? Pro Comp X-terrains, Mickey Thompson, Nitto, Toyo, Irok/SuperSwamper, Goodyear all have 40" options.

Pro Comp make the X-Terrains in 40" for both 16 and 18 inch wheels.

40/13.50/16 = PN#36040
40/13.50/18 = PN#38040

Mickey Thompson makes 40's in two styles for the 18" wheel

Baja Claws and their radial A/T's

I know 4wheelparts does but their prices are a little high. You might want to try www.discounttire.com

ETA: I thought you already had the Trxus 37"s

i do but they are 38's......im jsut looking at pricing it out to see what it would come to for 40's. if i can get a rize kit for $2200 have it installed for $3000...for $1400 for gears and install. then $1000 tops for body lift/gap guards and install. sell my tires for $900 get 40" tires for $1900. mounting and balancing $150.

Grand Total= TOPS $7500.

I spoke to a lot of reputable tire stores who said Toyos are going to be on backorder like this until about early October and they got the feeling that they were going to go up in price. .

Yes. But by August they should have their new plant done, here in the USA. I'd expect the prices would go down since they'd be producing a lot more tires, wouldn't have overseas shipping costs but I was told otherwise. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. My money will be going to another company until Toyo can get their act together!

yeah.....can anyone think of any problems of me possibly doing a 3 inch body lift on top of my rize with 40's for the future??

this guy at Wild ******* (off road store) says runing 38's and higher is a bad idea on these trucks cause its only a half ton axle.....i call BS on him but what do yall say?

yea but I think that front bumper actually helps him from rubbing. It basically take out the lower front bumper and replaces the upper part. so there is a lot of extra space to fit those 40s.

I also think if you can find the toyos they will be really expensive. When I was looking around for them I was debating the 35s and 37s and the 37s were around $400-$500 each for the toyos. I am sure the 40s will be at least $500.
