    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Dang! I went right past Norfolk on Thursday with that M37 on the trailer!!! Could have stopped in. But I am guessing those 11.00's are far from cheap!! Thanks for all of the size verifications, that kind of helps me zoom in a little. I want to stay in the same ballpark. I do not want to go...

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    I think the stock tires are in the 33-34" range. My other 37 is half buried in the weeds so I can't get an accurate measurement.

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Are you actually running the 315's on your truck? If so any possibility of getting a pic or two?

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Normally a wide tire on a skinny rim will be an issue due to the bead seating surface being pulled out and not sitting flat on the rim. But the fact that these tires will have tubes makes that a moot point. Very high pressure is still an issue but there is no need to run 60 lbs. of air on this...

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    A 315/75 calls for a 8-11 inch rim, a two inch difference is substantial. I am not saying it is out of the question, just want to know if others are using this size. Pricing is attractive for this size and selection is good. That will offset the 45.00 each price of the tubes!

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    I am not sure how they would work on this style of rim. They do work very well on normal rims and especially on ATV rims.

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Oh I know how to do them, I am getting too old to do it though!!! Swinging the duckbill accurately just ain't in me no more. Actually I am not even sure where my duckbill is? I owned a shop back when split rims and and ring locks, While not real common, were still in use.

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    Well, I have picked up the 37 and loaded 5 extra, old tires and rims into the back of my truck. Those combat rims are HEAVY!!!!!!!!! I would guess one rim and tire is approaching 200 lbs.. What did I get myself into?! Does anyone have a visual breakdown of one of those rims? They are different...

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    The rims that I have are stock M37 16 inch. I am aware that the hummer tires are 16.5 tapered bead. They are not staying on there and I am not replacing them. I have looked for reworked 16.5 rims for the M37 but have not found any so I am staying with stock 16" tires.

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    I am looking for modern tire sizing to replace the 900x16. I am picking up a M37 tomorrow and all it needs to drive is new tires. Comes complete with four standard rims and four combat rims with hummer tires on them. Yes, I know, wrong size. That is why I am looking for new tires. And yes, I am...
