I have a 1953 One Ton with 7.00 x 17 rims and tires, they are 8 lug rims. I wonder if anyone has any ideas of what possible newer more avaliable rim and tire combination might work. In searching for new tires I'm finding only prices that end up being a thousand dollars for new tires and tubes and rubber type rim inserts covers. I'm in hopes that there may be a better less costly way to get better rubber on my old truck so I wont feel so at risk when shes up into that 45 mph top speed. Thank you for any help.
