In Reply to: pondering old rims and new tires posted by 5 of Johns 5 are 4x4 [166.70.201.2] on Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 18:18:20 :
255/100R16 (metric Size for 9.00r16) tires
are available but just not here in North America.
quite a selection in Europe
most should work with a tube but it is always
best to confirm with the tire Manufacturer
tubes for radial tires have a different splice so they will not split.
according to a post a while back a chinese
company has made a knock off of the Michelin
255/100r16 XZL (all michelin radial tires are
"X" and the other letters denote tread pattern or intended use)
T137 budd 6.5wheels require a tube with a metal valve stem bent @90 degrees
you might just consider 9.00x16 Bias tires as
there is a selection avail (Speciality Tires of America is a good source)
