CLG253 26 #1 Posted December 26, 2016 Merry Christmas everyone! I have to buy new rear tires for my '61 Suburban. It had the 6-12 turf tires on it which I like but not willing to spend the $120 each. Will a 8.5 inch tire fit on that wheel and still look ok? I have been looking at both AG and turf type tires not really sure which way to go. Looks like there are a lot more options if you go to a 8.5 inch tire. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions and opinions appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 51,865 #5 Posted December 26, 2016 Do some browsing here http://www.millertire.com/ and other tire places. If you can't find something there you like and in your price range you are not looking. Post a ad in the wanted section here as well you never know what someone here may have and chances are good you'll get a great deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
