Got a tire question for you guys?

[Miller92]

Ok guys, I've been lookin at alot of pics and found these tires I like. I've posted a couple pics to show yall what I'm talkin bout. The 1st pic is the best I can find of the tire I am wanting to get. If anyone can maybe tell me the size of these tires and if they'll fit on the stock 6 lug steelies that came on my 1/2 ton I'd appreciate it. (Sorry if one of these is your pickup, I just found the pics on the 4x4 thread)

Thanks

The first 2 photos are just old school 8 ply mud and snow truck tires.

The last three look like military 8 ply truck tires. Check out this site; http://www.stausaonline.com/military/index.html

I am sure some of our 4 wheelin brethern will chime in with more info.

I been running tires like that for years. The closest I think you can get are the Remmington mug brutes If your wheels are 16" the size would be 255r 85 16 in either 6 or 8 ply. Which works out to something like a 33 or 34 by 9.50 or 10. Had them on my Dodge, Jeep Wagoneers, and 85 Surburban and 89 F250. Loved the look and worked pretty good. I haven't bought any in about 6 years. If my 03 F250 had stock wheels I would be running them on it also. They may make a 10 ply but that's only if you want to carry a lot of weight.

Thanks for the info. Those are definitely the ones I was lookin for but they don't have a price and I'm still not sure if they'll fit my tires. I know they're 15 inches but not sure just how wide they are. Would you happen to know the exact size of the 6 lug steelies that came on the 1/2 ton pickups?

[Surfdaddy]

Not too sure but may be either 5 1/2 or 6 inches. If your wheels are 15" the tire will be shorter. You can get some Dick Cepek tires that are around that size (33 X 9) in 15" but I'm not sure on the cost. They used to make something like the Armstrong TruTrack which was a great tire in it's day that has the tread your looking for. If your truck is stock you may not be able to go much bigger than a 32 inch tall tire anyway. Would look really cool with tall skinney mud tires. And not too hard to steer.

Thanks again for the info. Right now I'm gonna put just stock looking tires on it but my plan for the summer is to put a lil lift on 'er, some bigger tires, and a 4x4 or 3/4 ton rear bumper instead of my roll-pan. I can't afford a 4x4 so imma make it look like one and use it like one!

7.50X15 should be pretty close.

Alright cool, thanks.
