Good snow/ice tires on a 16.5?

[CamTom12]

I've been sliding around since I picked up my "new" '69 and I decided that next fall I'm going to get a new set of tires to make sure I'm not dealing with this next year.

Does anyone know of any decent tires? The size that's on there now is 9.50R16.5LT. I don't have a clue what that's equivalent to.

I'm pretty spoiled by the Duratracs on my '08 and my wife's Jeep but they don't make them in a 16.5.

I just seen these - no idea how well they work but they're pinned for studs.

Seems like alot of people run the Cooper Discover M+S in the winter months, but I dont think they are available in the 16.5.

I'll check when I get home but they're probably not. I was mad when I saw Duratracs weren't!

I'm stuck with 16.5s on my truck and about all I can find is the millitary goodyears.

Super Swamper, or BFG are about the only big name brand companies left making anything for 16.5 rims.

There are a few other options out there though.
