Coker has new ones but the price is outrageous.
Also-can I fit smaller size tires on the split rims; i.e 7.00-20 or 6.00-20? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,002 | Commercial tires (big truck) are very expensive. I wanted to put 280/70 19.5 on the front of my Class A motor home. I was quoted over $1k each. I put a pair of 9.50/85 16.5s on for less than 1/2 the cost of one 19.5. I suggest you look for an equivalent metric in a passenger of light truck tire, providing your not hauling any real weight. There are enough 20 inch rims out there for light trucks, you should find something.

But make sure the 20" rims you have are the ones with the lock ring on the outside. the ones with the lock ring in the middle are the widow makers. No one will touch them. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 211 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 211 | I have been researching tires since I got my truck in febuary. Was going to go the 19.5 route but as said those tires are very expensive. Spoke to my local tire guy and he did 700&750x20 for a local fire department and was getting tires for $160-$170. Since my truck probably only goes 40-45 mph,I'm not very concerned with using bias ply,and this is what works with my budget.

Mine tops out about 40 MPH with the 7.50 x 20s | | | | | Joined: May 2011 Posts: 91 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2011 Posts: 91 | I bought 6 new "powerking" 750x20. The cost was about $2000.oo including installation. I had the rims powder coated black for an additional $300.oo. They look pretty good. Pictures are on my site.
