9.50 x 16.5 Tires?
Anybody tell me what the correct p metric tire replacement size is for the 9.50 x 16.5" that came on my 1973 GMC 3/4 ton truck?

There isn't one. 16.5 tires never got with that P metric stuff. You are looking for 9.50R - 16.5s. That's what Firestone sells in the Transforce HT line

Re: 9.50 x 16.5 Tires?
Smart to get new wheels. I was in a hurry to go camping so I bought a set of Firestone Transforce tires. I'll be getting 16" wheels next time. If something happens on the road, I want all the same size. Since I didn't have a spare anyway, I did buy one 16" wheel when I came back from that camping trip. 4 more to go.

Re: 9.50 x 16.5 Tires?
The ‘P’ stands for passenger. IIRC.
The equivalent in metric if you could find it would be 245 75 16.5. Your tires are 30.6 inches tall. A 255 75 16 would be close at 30.9. |
