Fred T,
I am sometimes typing and proof reading challenged. What I meant to say is what type of modern tire will fit on my 17" rims. The tires are 700x17 and I am sure 750x17 will work as well. I was trying to find modern sized radial tires to replace my old tires. I have also determined that my truck is a 1 ton. Same wheel base and a slightly heavier suspension. So I would like to get radials.
The tie rod end and brake line clearance is still a big an issue. The setback and wider tires are still a problem. I have measured the tires and rims and done some comparisons on rim width, section/tire width,section/aspect and tire diameters. This was great fun but didn't get me much.
The best I have come up with that "Might" work is a 265/65R/17 from website tire finder.
Any suggestions or experience with these Tires?
