How much taller is the 7.50-16 vs. the 6.50-16? Also, if I run the 7.50s on the '42 with stock crash box 4 speed and rear end, what max highway speed am I looking at???? at least 45 mph? Thanks

You can probably expect a marginal bump in speed, not much over 45mph. Different gearing is the way to go if you want hwy speeds. Then you want the brakes upgraded to keep up with traffic.
