Since they have 4.56 gears I want taller tires, probably around 35's. I have seen some 9.00/16 tires online but am not sure how bias ply would handle highways and towing. Anyone got suggestions on what to get?

Just have to get used to it. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | I agree. As a daily driver I would think modern tires are safest way to go. Not sure if you have stock suspension and brakes, but I think that would also drive part of the decision. I wear 215/85/16 on 2 trucks and drive them with that in mind.
Where in NH? Mark (Ferris) and I need to gather. My K10 might be of interest. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 2,242 Herder of Cats, Goats, and Sheep (moderator) | | Herder of Cats, Goats, and Sheep (moderator) Joined: Jan 2019 Posts: 2,242 | What size/kind of wheels do you have? That will set some limits on your tire options. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2022 Posts: 90 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2022 Posts: 90 | Thats kinda what i was thinking Hambone. It is my year round daily so i want it to drive decent. I do have stock suspension and brakes but am planning on switching some 3/4 ton axles in from another 63. I currently have 33x12.5 on 15x10 rims. Obviously I will have to switch to 8 lug rims if I switch axles. The stock rims that are on them are fine so those are likely what I would use.
Im near Keene Hambone, let me know when you are gonna party!
