I bought my set of 7.50x17 BPs for my 1-ton from
Universal Vintage Tire Co. in Hershey, PA. Our local tire shop (big trucks, ag, as well as 4-wheelers) mounted and balanced them on my original multi-piece wheels no problem. Easily have more than 1,000 miles on them now -- no issues!
Good stories, Ken!
Jerry -- that engine is running great! Sounds awesome at the top end, although a little hard to hear it over the road and wind noise

I am wondering if the 216 valve cover was such a great idea, after all, though ...
