They have pretty good pricing on all sorts of tires & wheels. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 18 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | Just FYI, Tirerack is a good place to browse and compare, but go with your local tire shop or farm supply store. The price you see at Tire Rack, doesn't factor in shipping and secondly, you still have to pay someone to mount and balance it on the rim.

They don't make the 17.5 tires in a modern radial. You'll probably either need to go with a 16, 17, or 18 inch wheel. I don't have a BFG catalog handy at the moment (it's at the shop), I do know that the All Terrain KO tends to come in wider sizes than what these old trucks came with originally.
