Tire Plug

I got my 1968 3/4t 2wd in 1990. It had the original spit rims with bias tires. I went down to the tire store and bought some saw blade wheels and some Wild Country RVT all terrian radials. 97467.4 miles later....I think its time to replace them. These were NOT easy miles either.....lets see I had a 11ft Kamp King (1962), 25ft fleetwood, many loads of firewood stacked cab high, sand gravel, car trailers, hunting, scrap/salvage yards, No spin axle etc etc etc.

Re: Tire Plug

Amazing. I figure I'm doing very good to get half that many miles.

Re: Tire Plug

That looks like a nice sized and good looking wheel/tire combo. Mind sharing the wheel size/width and tire size with us ???? Thanks.

Re: Tire Plug

265/75/16 I think they are 8 inch wide wheels, but can't remember for sure. And have no clue on the backspacing. They do make ol blue look a lot better
