why are tires for 16 rims more expensive than tires for 15? a 33" tire would have less rubber when placed on a 16 than a 15 right?
I have 16" tires on all my trucks, I know EXACTLY what you mean! The reason for this, my guess, is because 15's are a lot more popular, and 16" sizes on SUV's anyway just became a thing in the last 5 yrs or so.

Have you looked at 17"?? Wouldn't want that route. My guess is, in a few more years, prices will go down - it's just they know that people with 16" rims have to buy 16" sizes, so for now they're gonna charge. Just like when DVD's first came they were pretty high priced, and have come down with time.
