What size tired rubbed Furno? Also 3/4 outside the fender well?? What disc conversion/spindles did you go with? THX

Those are some pretty cool tires, wonder if I can get them in Canada. It's illegal to drive on the highway with tubes where I live, so those outdoortire.com ones look to be the best option out of what you suggest. EDIT: Unfortunately outdoortire.com doesn't ship to Canada.

if yer looking for tubeless bias ply farm skinnies, STA makes a few..

lug rears and highway tread fronts in companion sizes..

Coker, Summit, etc. sell them so should be able to find someone shipping up north..

here's a post of mine from a while back but they have been discussed at length around the board..

good luck!

sticking with the 16.5s I currently have due to better tire selection in this type of tire.. factory 15" 8 lug snap-rings too rusty..

May70. I used the conversion kit from Brothers. I dont remember the tire size but they were BF goodwrench all terrains. Maybe 265/70R16? pretty big tires.

275/70R-16 General something or another. I've recently went with Cooper 265/70R-16's...The 275's were like a 1/2" taller and a bit wider...
