Thanks! You really know your Xplorers ! I never considered a tire size problem. Seems like Xplorers are hard to find near me, I'm in Florida. I guess I need to concentrate on a 228 with the normal tires.
Also, I'd prefer TBI which started in '88(?) for the 318, not sure about the 360. I had a 90 Aero Cruiser with a 360 TBI so I know the 360's were TBI by then. Good information, thanks!
I just read about the 16.5“ tires and it said that the bead won't hold to the rim when tire pressure drops, something to do with the steep rim angle. It sounds like a safety hazard for people who neglect tire pressure. Another reason to stay away from them.
