Default 32" tires

This may sound like a dumb question... but do they still make 32" tires. My one friend said they did not? Is this true... if they do what brands make them?

32x10.5r16 or 32x10.5r15 is considered "floatation" tire size. you mostly see it on 15 inch tires. Some companys like toyo will measure some of there tires in flotation size in other rim sizes, like 17 and 18, but not many. the other measurement is considered metric tire measurement, and is more common since it's used on smaller tires for cars and stock trucks. you can use tire calculators to figure out the correct size.

They use standard sizing on 15 inch wheels and metric on 16's. My sidewalls say 285/70R16 but smaller text shows 32x11.50

Don't understand the flotation comment...

32x10.5R16 is the same 275/65R16 , is absolutely easy to find anywhere and a great tire to run on a 4.5" lift without cutting your wheel wells and without the tires sticking out...
