The first dealer would not install them as the 4" rims were too narrow. Went to a second dealer who said the same thing plus the fact there is no safety bead on the rims. I have seen many trucks with this set up although IMO they look like fat donuts.
Consequently I bought four Coker/Firestone 650-16 bias ply and love them dearly. Seems the compound is different than the old bias-ply tires and I get no flat spotting. They ride very smoothly but can get caught in grooves on the road although I cannot think of it happening too many times after 6 years of use.
The idea of having radials is still in my mind but will see. | | |
