Re: Tire questions

I'd opt for a 215 (or 225) 75-16" tire or step up to a 215/85-16 legit truck tire.

The truck tire is heavier duty than needed on a 1/2 ton most likely but might be just as easy to find & one wouldn't have to worry about them not being good enough for 'truck stuff'. The trade-off would be possible reduction in ride quality but as long as they're not inflated to max pressure they ride fine IMO.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
