Good tire and rim combo for 72 highboy?

Post by Shoddymill »

Looking to replace the tires on my new 72 F250 highboy. It has really narrow rims with 7.5 x 16 bias ply snows on it and those things sing a little too loudly. I'm looking to keep it semi-stock looking and was thinking 235x85x16 with some 7 inch rims, probably AR Outlaws or something similar. Does this sound like a sane setup to you guys?

Thanks,

Dennis

Not too sure about the availability of these tyres in the USA but I run a maxxis bravo 751 series in a 235/85 r16 on a 7 Inch rim on my f250. These are real good tyres, previous to my f250 I had run the same type tyre on my bronco and my land rover defender. Hope this helps
