Re: 68 K20 Panel truck, ex. civil defence vehicle

Finally got the tires mounted with some new tubes and liners.

They did get scratched up a little, but I knew that before, them being split rims. But with a little touch up paint, they turned out really nice.







They also look good on the truck. Can only imagine how nice itīll look when the truck matches the wheel colors.





And now the reason for the tire choice:

I wanted a radial tire for the sake of drivability. I wanted to keep the MT tire though. I also wanted sth that works with the split rims and has the same diameter of the old bias ply tires but with just a little more width.

Hence the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro in 235/85R16

I think they turned out great and will look perfect on the truck, especially with the hubcaps!
