If a F250 for sure 16.5 steel stock rims (hubcaps look stock also) here is my 72 with 33x12.50x16.5 so thinking those might be 35" tires

thinking they're older Ground Hogs. the older didn't have the tread as far down the sidewall.
probably 35-36"

I thought they might be the ground hawg also but if you look close at the side lug it has (2) lines down toward the center and the hawgs have (1) so not those

They sure do look like those Ground Hawgs. If they are, then they have some miles on them.

What width are your 35's?

The Ground Hawg has a unique tread pattern that's designed for slinging mud. The diagonal lugs use a directional pattern optimized for deep mud and sand. The Ground Hawg is a Bias tire. If you're interested in a Radial version of the Ground Hawg, check out the Ground Hawg II.

Anyone else noticed the GH's are now made by Interco who makes the SuperSwampers.
They used to be made by Denman.
Which I think is on that truck.(the old GH's)
edit: on second thought, the Ground Hog letters were huge. Can't see them on those. :hmm:

If you're looking for the classic truck tire look, try Univeral Universal Vintage Tires or Specialty Tires of America. They have similar tires.
