is it possible? I have a 55 M-170 which has the original 16 " rims mounted with 6.50 x 16 tubed and flapped NDT tires, I wish to retain the original rims and put on some A/T or similar all- season brand tires like cooper discovery, etc. I'm curious if I can eliminate the tubes and flaps for this swap ..... I need new tires and the added expense of new rims with new tires would just kill my wallet!! besides , I like the mil rims on there now. I am thinking of slightly larger tires like a 245/75r16. will these work, any suggestions? just stumped on trying to get a clear answer from someone.... thank you for your time.
