Burps,
You are correct about the 16.5 feature. But there are the early H-1 tires which were bias ply and difficult to balance and the newer GoodYear tires which were raidials, had a higher rating and were better at balancing. Part of he problem lies in the balance of 24 bolt deadlock wheels themselves. I have never felt the need for beadlocks and when on blow sand had my 37/13.50R16 Jeep tires on 10" rims down to 6 pounds and never lost a bead. I looked around at wide 16.5 tires today and they seem to be a dying breed, held only on the market because of the military.
I emailed Stockton Wheel today to find out about their version of H-1/Power Wagon/military 16" steel wheels with the back spacing and width I need. We'll see what they come back with on the price and deliverability, although Stockton is only 90 minutes away from me so they wouldn't need to be shipped.
O.K. i'll get off this thread now.
regards, as always, jefe
