Anyone know of a good (and affordable, ha ha) 9.50 x 16.5 tire and where to buy them? My truck is going to be in a parade in a little over a week and I just realized that my rear tires are dry rotted pretty badly. Thanks.

Or just use black shoe polish to fill in the cracks in your existing tires big_eek Hey, it worked for Burt Monro's Indian motorcycle!

Thanks for the link John. I wish the shoe polish would prevent a blow out!

If you want to go to radials, Tire Rack has some Firestones in that size for a reasonable price.

Thanks so much for the link Bill. I think I will order them. The 8.75s are a bit cheaper and I believe they will fit my wheels. I think my wheels will take from 8.0 to 9.50. Without seeing them, do you think that would be correct?

I had the 8.75s installed today and they fit perfectly. Better even than the 9.50s that I had. I got them from Tire Rack and was very pleased. They arrived in two days, even ahead of schedule. Thanks for your help Bill.
