I'm looking for a good supplier for 7.50 x 20 tires. Right now I'm in need of 4 to get my 4400 on the road. Any suggestions?

Its pretty common here in Mn to have a grain truck on the road and working thats 45 plus years old. Good Luck anyway!

But, be prepared for a mounting problem with the split rims. But, I recommend that you stay with the 750's rather than the bulkier 8:20s unless you plan to haul heavy loads. They look much classier and more classic. G. Berry | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 50 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 50 | I bought Chinese tires traded under the name "double happiness". The local tire supplier I use delivered them with tube and flap for $106.00 each. They look classy and are priced right, maybe there not good for that perfect original restoration. My thought is try it. I was going to buff the double happiness off, but I think it will be interesting car show talk. I mounted them myself not that bad to do, but if you don't know how I wouldn't try it you can do some real damage. My two cents and 15 min. of typing :hammering:

It's bad enough that many "Originally American" name brand items are made in countries by slave labor, but I don't envision enough happiness being spread around for the laborers to enjoy, that would warrant bragging about it.
No offense intended, just expressing my honest opinion.

Read that sentence again! They can be mounted by the average person BUT, the inflation process could KILL you! Read the last three words again! A bit extreme I know, but please learn the proper and safe method of tire replacement for 'split type truck wheels', if your going to do it for your self.
Insert clever statement here:
