Need new tires for 87 LD
Yahoo Message Number: 58289
I've done a search for those who have older rigs, but couldn't really figure out if they could put Michelin XPS RIBS 8.75 X 16.5 on the existing rims or bought new rims. The current tires, of varying vintage and makes are all 8.00 X R16.5, and I'd like to go with all steel belts and walls. Any suggestions or previous experiences? I just had a rear brake job done, and it wasn't easy for them to get the existing tires off, the body of the rig had to be jacked up to fit them out from under the walls; is this the norm? Will the larger tires even fit? --Vicki; fulltiming in Hiccup and chilling on the central coast of Oregon
