Radials make a world of difference to the steering.

It would have came standard from the factory 7.50 X 20 front, & 8.25 X 20 rear. I've got 8.25's, all the way around, on my '46 Chevy 2 ton, & '53 Chevy COE 2ton. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 243 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 243 | is it hard to find folks to mount these split rim tires? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | I just mounted two fronts tonight. You need to make sure you have the wider wheels to mount the 8.25's on. Most 7.50 wheels are an inch narrower than the 8.25 wheels,

Just looks right too !  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 173 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 173 | 7.50x20's all the way around on mine. I ended up mounting them myself rather than hunt all over town to try and find someone to do them. | | |
