well, I went with STA 7.50 x 17 tires with a hiway tread all the way around, we'll see how they ride as soon as the snow clears here in the midwest. I had alot of trouble finding anything in a 17 inch, and even more trouble finding anything with an off-road tread that would have looked cool in the rear. Tornel makes one, but its a bit heavier than I liked.
Since I doubt that the old gal will ever see any rough farm work I think these hiway tires will satisfy the need, but I would have liked to find something that looked a little tougher - after all it is a one-ton. I'm going to keep searching....
