I would love to see some pics of 225/95/16's. I searched and couldn't find much on this size tyre (33” x 9”), so I am hoping some of you will share your thoughts and feelings from your experiences. And of course PICS!
Thanks guys!

Is there a reason you want such a high sidewall. Maybe my calculator batteries are a bit flat, but that section works out to be 32" on the numbers. Maybe the tread depth/meat of tread, will make it 33", not sure.
A picture doesn't show much except a tread look, hard to gauge the ability from a picture. They are round and black and the annulus takes up half of the dia. ie, opposite look to a 20" and 35% on a Car.

This is the standard tyre size as fitted by Toyota on some of their Workmate range of Landcruiser 70 series vehicles.
I own a Troopcarrier (78 series) that came with these mounted on steel rims & think that they are an almost perfect size for general touring & light/medium duty off-roading as the high profile provides a long narrow footprint when aired down.
The tyres are relatively quiet on the blacktop & provide far better fuel economy figures due to their low rolling resistance & lighter unsprung weight especially when compared against the “trendy” wide muddies.
However, if given the choice, I think that the perfect size tyre that offers the same overall diameter still with a high sidewall would be a AT 255/85 r16, unfortunately in Australia, as far as I’m aware, can only be purchased in a MT style of tyre which are probably better suited to 20% road/ 80% off-road type of usage rather than a general tourer.
For images take a look at Bridgestones website using the details below.
