They're normally found as light truck tires (LT 215/85R16) Brand is up to you. Find a tread and sidewall design you like. They can be found for about $100 each up to $300+ for aggressive off road treads. If you want a bias ply appearance, look at Diamondback Tires. High quality radials with vintage look and excellent quality and handling. Not cheap. www.dbtires.com
