14" A/T tires?

14" A/T tires?
Does anybody know of any good A/T (or M/T) tires in a 14" rim? Something around 195/75/14. Unfortunately I am kind of stuck with 14s due to my dually rears. Most of the local tire places just show either car tires or 10-ply tires for toyota motorhomes which besides being expensive are no more aggressive than the car tires. I'm not doing any four-wheeling here but I would like something a little more substantial as I do a lot of driving on logging roads.
Seems like I saw some BFG ATs at costco for 14" rims but they were also fairly expensive.
Anybody have any ideas?

there's a few of them still out there but most of them are closer to a 27" tall tire though for a 14" wheel. smaller diameter area going to be mainly street tires as you've found. I'd go for the BFGs if that's all you can find in that small of a size. people seem happy with BFG ATs and they seem to last forever. otherwise you may consider upgrading wheel size since the 14" size is sort of obsolete nowadays, your tire options will increase a bit. good luck!

I dropped by my local tire store and they found a couple selections of the 27x8.5-14. They're going to put some on order and test fit them.
I'd love to up the rim size but I'm stuck with 14s in the rear due to the custom duallys.

what's so custom about the dually setup that you can't swap your wheels? it's 2016, wheels come in pretty much any spec you need
edit: are yours the 5x4.5 pattern like the 2wd truck, or did they use 6x5.5 of the 4wd trucks? those 5 lugs might have to be custom, you're right that's a tricky one to resolve if you want more wheel/tire options.

Well, the entire setup is custom as a matter of fact. Basically the axle is just a beefed up axle and the rims are actually one rim with two tires mounted to them. Realistically, one day I am probably going to have to ditch the duallies and just put some singles on the back. Maybe some super wide ones
