I just purchased a 68 dually, it currently has 7.50 r16 tyres on the rims though all are in need of replacement. Can I use 235/85r16 or will these be too wide? And what size tyres are you dually guys using on the rear of your trucks?
Thanks for your help

Re: Dually rear tyre size?
235's should be fine, I ran them on my F350, granted it was a '92, but I don't think there's much difference in wheel spacing. 235s are what usually replace the old 7.50-16's
