[old-chevy-truck] Tires for Old Rims

I have a set of old rims 5 1/2" by 16" that were on an old Chevy Apache that I'd like to get tires for but these sizes are pretty much out of fashion nowadays. Can someone tell me where I can find a supplier that has the right tires for these rims? Paul Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule! To

[old-chevy-truck] tires again

I know that tire sizes were discussed not long ago, and I thought that I had saved the messages, but can’t find them now. My question is: Will the 6:50 X 16 bias ply tires that I have bought, fit OK on my original 1940 ½-ton pickup rims. I think that the original tires were 6:00, but I couldn’t rem

[old-chevy-truck] tires again

I am about ready for tires on my 1940 – ½ ton project. I am using the original 16 inch rims. Recently there was a discussion about tires. It seemed that the 215-85R16 was the commonly available option. I would not be afraid of these at all. But, I am curious, at www.whitewalltire.com

Re: [old-chevy-truck] tires for 16" Rims

Kevin I'll give you my 2 cents worth on this. I think you are positively correct to go with the steel belted radials. It makes a huge difference in the ride. I used LT215/85R16 size tires on mine. It gives it the "right height" plus it still has a fairly narrow profile as the originals

[old-chevy-truck] tires for 16" Rims

I have on my '52 1/2 ton what I think are the original rims. They are 16" by 4". The tires I've taken off are stamped 600-16, which are no longer holding air and certainly aren't road worthy. I'm having trouble finding replacement tires. Some of the local tire shops have given up and said th

Finally have my rims cleaned up and ready for tires. I want to stay stock and have 15 inch by 5 1/2 inch two piece rims for my 52 3600. What size tires can I use. I do not want white walls or anything fancy, just truck tires. How big can I go without fender or other clearance problems? Sug
