I believe Yokohama discontinued them. Tire Rack used to sell them, but that was years ago.
I haven't seen 7.50s in years but somebody overseas is probably still making and selling them for the classic Rover and Land Cruiser folks. Think the closest "modern" equivalent is 235/85-16. Just a fraction shorter and an inch wider.
Edit - I guess I just haven't been looking. There are a few places still making military style 7.50s and BFG is making a KM3.

Good to know there are others out there. I was referring only to the Yokohama Y742S that the OP installed.
Very African safari, very cool… just put some stock fender flares and call it good.

I would like to join the pizza cutter TJ club. I haven't been able to find any old rims. Can anyone send me a link to buy new? Also let's talk tires. My local tire shop told me to find the tires that work for me here:
https://www.cokertire.com/tires.htm...PDeNCboeaG7bIat9DpC4OuPmoLvkzKqQaAgdVEALw_wcB
then he would be able to install/balance em for me. Can anyone recommend a tire made in USA or a reputable country? Diameter 28~31" with 29~30" preferred. This is a difficult task at hand lol

What size wheels do you have now? 15"? 16"?
If 15", try 30x9.50 or 235/75R15 (28.9" x 9.3"). Also military NDCC bias ply 7.00-15 (29.50" x 7.8")
If 16", which was the wheel diameter on CJs back in the day, check out: 235/85R16 (31.7" x 9.3"), 255/85R16 (33.1" x 10"), Military style NDCC bias ply 7.00-16 (31.10" x 7.6")
If you want to try 17" wheels, look at 235/80R17 tires (31.8" x 9.3")

If you want 15" rims you can use stock Dodge Dakota rims from 87-90, or there abouts.
But this can look a little small with a lift.
If you want 16" rims the only sources I have found are dual lug pattern. Which I guess I might break down and buy. There was a single lug pattern from Stockton Wheels but they seem to be out of business.
Here's my Jeep photoshopped with 4 wheels. It looks good but I don't like that dual lug pattern.
Tires are not too bad if you want that old bias ply look with a deep mud tread. The tire shown here is a Deestone 7.5 -16, which I purchased on Walmart.com.

Deep mud with 400 minimum horsepower yes , Any road over 30 m.p.h. , probably not !
Has anyone tried using “dually” rims? Ever since I saw this Facebook listing the pizza cutter look has grown on me.

Why run 33x10.50r16 when you can run 33x10.50r15 in a lighter and softer load range C ???

Facebook stupidity needs to stay on facebook.
When I first set up our Jeep for trails we ran 235/85r16 Cooper at3's . Even though they were 10 ply , it rode smooth and performed well off-road . They are 31x6x16 and we have 6 inch wide wheels .
