Re: 1991 Suburban V2500, Need new tires, considering change in tire size

Quote:
I didn't even know such a small 16" light truck tire size existed, as the 195/85-16.
Me neither, but it probably replaces a 6.00 or 6.50-16 that used to be on a lot of half ton pickups and jeeps. All of those are more like a xxx/95 but I never saw a metric tire with that profile.

Funny that what they call "narrow tires" these days were "wide tires" 50 years ago.
