Default Re: Will these fit OK

Phil I'm with You on the tire width. The narrower the tire the more it bulges. Could be exceptions but, I have run manyy 100,000 of thousands miles on farm and road etc. My guy has been in business for 30 years and quote the specs on every brand almoct that exists.

He has always drilled into Me if You put a big tire on a narrow rim it turns it into a ballon and the bead wil pop under stress.

As i mentioned there may be new rules or guidelines I'm not familiar with but, I'm usually very good at researching what i do as all the old hats here know. sometimes to the point of irritation but, they have put up with it and have helped many. But, the purpose of puttinga large tire when i was looking to do it was to filll in allthe wheel well. The tire specialists told me just put it on a 17" and it will look like you could float the thing across a creek instead of fording it.

This is just what i learned from allot of years of buying tires for farm trucks, tractors and combines. The principal remains the same with them as does a truck or car. I have wanted to put larger tires on tractors before and h told me the same thing it will work for a while but, under strain and load the tire will pop off.

So you just have to go with our best info and use someone You trust in the business to direct You i Your choice. Plus things may have changed since it has been a whle since i retired from farming at 40 now 49. So I'm sure i learned something along the way. But, seriuoly You have to do what makes You happy and make decision with someone You can trust and allot of experience.
Good Luck with this
