17" Traction Tire Options
Have searched the internet high and low, and posted to a couple other forums, but have found nothing.
Are there any 7.00-17 or 7.50-17 mud grip, traction tread tires available? All kinds of highway tread options. Something similar this one |

Re: 17" Traction Tire Options
Thanks mr48chevy, I found those long ago, but they are not even remotely similar to the style i have pictured.
I want something that is similar tread to the traction style tires of the 40's and 50's. Last edited by prairie; 04-22-2018 at 12:21 PM. |

Re: 17" Traction Tire Options
mongocanfly, yep that is the style I am looking for, seems to be available in a lots of sizes just not 17".
The first picture in my original post is a Power King Super Traction II. available in 15" and 16" sizes only. |

Re: 17" Traction Tire Options
Boy, you picked a tough one. I looked around on the web myself, doesn’t look good for 17” sizes. Maxxis Bighorns and Mastercraft MXT’s are close, but I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for. Interco has a lot of old school looking mud tires, but are geared for 4x4 trucks. Again, I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for. Is there a reason you need 17” tires? Could you swap rims and go fora 16” in order to get the look?

I guess 15" wheels were standard for the '48 3/4 tons, with the 17" wheels being an option. Another option would be these tires https://www.cokertire.com/750-17-tor...on-10-ply.html but they are of a modern tread design, and definitely not what I want. |

Re: 17" Traction Tire Options
huh, when I bought the 47 gmc it was a grain truck and had 17" widowmakers and like new luggers, I popped them on craigslist and was a little whelmed (not overly whelmed haha) by how many guys called. I actually delivered them to oklahoma for 3 times what I thought they would sell for. now I see why!
