Can anyone recommend a source for 9.5 X 16.5 Tires. Thanks in advance, Ron 8452876-IMG_0231(800x600).jpg (185 downloads)

On my 75 D200, I just threw out the 16.5's as they are too difficult to find and too expensive to bother with. I used 16" Ford wheels and readily available tires. Nice find, by the way!

It has two different tags one showing a factory 8100 GVW and the other one showing 9000 http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/history/segment10.html Ron 8453846-IMG_0240(800x600).jpg (112 downloads)
