Radials on my truck

Post by biggreg70 »

I have the stock rims and tires on my 70 f250 3/4 ton 2wd I believe the rims are 16.5 and I was wondering what a good radial size would be?

You may run into problems finding 16.5" tires to fit on your rims. They are not as common to find brand new, as 15" or 16" sizes are.

Just something to research a bit....

the last time i bought 16.5s i bought kelly springfields. i think they were a 9.75x16.5, but that was years ago.
