The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Ordering tires

I'm ready to order my tires and just need a little info.I'v narrowed it down to Miller tire because I have gotten tires from them before and been happy with their service and tires .I'm looking at their 750-17 highway rib for the front and traction for the back.Has anyone ever got these from them?I would like to know how wide the tread is if someone could measure that for me.Also how good do they ride?

Got doing more reading on them,they aren't Miller tires,Tornel makes them miller sells them.Called about tire width but they could only give me a idea what they realy are.Width on the traction was 8.8" and the highway was 9.0" .The tread for the traction should be about 7" and highway should be 7.5-8".Do's that sound about right? The only reason I'm wanting to know is the tire shop in town had one highway tire and the tread was like only 5" 6" max and just looking at it I think it would look goofy.I like how the old ones look,and they are the wider tread.

I have this combination on my truck, although I didn't buy them from Miller. The tread of the traction is 6.5", the highway is 7". I like them, they look just right and they ride like an old truck.

That sounds like the same thing thats on it now,just without the cracked side walls:).Thanks for your help
