They are the factory 109 type wide ones. I recall several threads about tire sizes but since the archives are not presently available here goes: What size tires? I think I want the tallest thinnest tires that will work. I also think I want to stay with radials since they seem to be more forgiving of 35 year old suspensions or for that matter of 61 year old suspensions such as my own. Also I think I want a highway tread in hopes that it will quiet things down a bit. My question, are 750R16's appropriate? They appear to add a couple of inches (cheap overdrive?) and don't "look" any wider than my current 235/75R15 mud tires. Any help will be appreciated.
