Civilian Tire Size

Post by GIJOE290 »

Hi Guys,

I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find the answer.

What non-military type tire will fit on standard rim? P22575R16, P23575R16, P24575R16? Or would an 80r be better?

Just need to move the A1 around the garage until I get it restored.

This is the wheel.

Thanks in advance.

David,
Typing in "Tires" in the search function above I got 9 pages.
Granted all posts weren't about tires, but many were including
this one:

Mine came with Mastercraft tires but they are 80 psi truck tires.
Have not even had them on the highway yet, but I can just
imagine...
Take care,
Brian

Thanks Brian!

I honestly look and typed in: tire, tires, wheel, rim... and I got nothing back. Clearly, I didn't do something right.

You have to be careful what search parameters you use with our older "Powered by phpBB © 2001 phpBB Group" product. It is easier to just use google and include willysmjeeps with the search terms.

David,
Also do not use the "Search" link to the left.

Use the one in the header bar directly above
next to Forum FAQ.
