Hugh 55 trk Wrench Fetcher H Joined: May 2008 Posts: 49 Laurinburg, NC	I have a 55 2nd with the stock straight front axle with 5 lug disc conversion. Right now I am running 225/70r15 tires on the front. The tires are worn and I need to replace them. Is there any advantage to changing to another size tire? Can the width or the height of the tire make manual steering better or worse? If so, what do you recommend? Thanks, Hugh Hugh 55 2nd My Wife's Dream Come True: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee39/h4040510/1940%20Ford/All5WebSize.jpg
