Tri Rib Tires on a C195

[edwroy 138]

Okay, need some membership advise. Interesting in put tri rib tires on the from of my C195. I don't find 18x6.5-8 tri ribs only 16x6.5-8 tri ribs. How can I make them work? Appreciate thoughts/suggestions.

It would only stand one inch lower and probably wouldn't notice the change. If you are plowing snow you will be glad you got them, the tri ribs grab better than the wide turfs ever did.

 

When you have them on  .

I have that size on mine. it works fine.

Are you looking for " tri-ribs " ?  ( http://www.greaterclevelandtire.com/servlet/the-1190/3.50-dsh-8-4P-Deestone-F-dsh-2/Detail  )

Or "ribs" ? ( http://www.greaterclevelandtire.com/servlet/the-2196/18x8.50-dsh-8-4P-Deestone-Rib/Detail ) 

 

I put the " tri's " on mine & no more sideways slippage :

Will the 350-8 tri rib fit the rims that take the 16x6.50x8 tires ? Seems like the 3.50 wouldn't be wide enough.

Jerry,  It'll look silly with the 3.5s   With tubes in them they will mount however.......I put 4.00s on mine with tubes and it works great but still looks a little narrow.

Where did you get the rear tires from?

I have the 16x6.5x8 Firestone tri ribs on mine, not stock rims but are the same width as stock 5 3/8" wide I do believe, no don't use the 4x8 they will be way to small.

I've got a wheehorse commando 800 8hp built in 1972 and I want some tri ribbed tyres for the front and agricultural tyres for the rear but I don't want to modify the rear body work so that the rear tyres fit so could I have some advice of where anyone got theirs or a link would be better

cheers

What sizes did you put in the firestone website?

[Kelly 1,033]

Miller tire is the only place you can buy these tires,      Millertire.com  not cheap at about $140 + shipping a pair

the size of the tires is on it, if you get ags and tri ribs the same size you don't have to modify anything

Okay thanks it's 15lox6.00-6 on the front and 20x8.00-10 on the rear,but I just can't find any, help would be much appreciated or just send a link

*15x6.00-6

[C-101plowerpower 1,606]

i think 23x8.5-12 would also fit on the rear, you'll need 12" rims, and for the fronts, you can fit the 16x6.5-8 tires, but once again you'll need 8" rims
