OK, I've been reading these forums for a long time and none of my questions have been answered to my satisfaction, So here is a list of queries I would appreciate some ansers to.
And please if you don't know or just want to voice off do it somewhere else, there is enough BS posted from so called experts who know nothing.
1. I have a Diesel Pusher, why can't I put a bigger size tire on the front wheels?
2. My wheels are 19.5 present tires Samson 8 R 19.6. Everything I read say's the wheel is designed for a max 6 inches.
3. However a bigger tire will give a tighter fit against the rim? And common talk is the larger tire will cause the walls to soften, But if a tire has a correct pressure, logic says it will hold its strength and shape unless punctured?
4. Many comments say that you can't increase the tire size on the rear because the Dually wheels will rub? The wheels on a Dually can't rub against each other bother wheels and tires are secured by the same stud and therefore will not cause friction ? I agree space is important to allow air circulation for cooling but friction.....
5. If you put bigger tires on the front you have to adjust your speedometer? As there is no drive train on the front of a Diesel Pusher and the speedometer cable is connected to the transmission which is connected to the rear axle (Drive Axle). Yes I know about different sizes and revolutions changing speed, but come on does your tag axle change your speedometer if it had bigger tires. No it doesn't and neither does a steering axle with no drive train attached.
So If I change my present front tires (8R 19.5) to 225/70R 19.5 what can I expect in handling and control?
I will add tires are the only thing I haven't done to correct slight wandering, which I only suffer from in windy conditions.
Thanks in advance..
