on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 42 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2014 Posts: 42 | Thanks! This pickup is a driver. I'm very proud of the restoration but wasn't going to show quality. Stirring and breaks are excellent. Rims are good and I'm currently running tubeless. Would drive anywhere. I'm very much leaning towards radials. Suggested rim width for the Michelin is 5 1/2 - 7 but I've seen that many Bolster's are running 215-85-16 on stock rims. The Cross Climate tire would seem to be a good choice for mountain driving. She would not be driving in bad winter conditions, but it rains a lot up there. I'm not sure how tire shops feel about mounting these tires on 4 1/2-inch rims. I have a Coats manual tire machine so I can mount them myself but there's a Discount Tire down the road from me that I've done a lot of business with so they might sell me a set and mount them. I'd prefer they be spin balanced to my bubble balancer that I use on trailer wheels.
Thank you for the replys. Radials is probably the way to go. This truck goes highway speeds easily. Never be sorry for preaching safety!!!!
