WC 1/2 ton Tire question

Post by Dozerman51 » Sun Feb 25, 2018 1:26 pm

Getting ready to purchase some new 750-16 NDT’s . My old ones have been in a shed for the last 26 years(went to 900-16 tires and wheels) and even though they only have about 3,000 miles on them I don’t think I would trust them. Anyway, I am trying to decide between the STA or the Firestone’s. My old ones were Wallace Wade NDT’s. Looking at the spec’s, the STA has a larger overall diameter than the Firestone tire. Larger diameter = less Rpm’s. Anyway too bad Goodyear doesn’t make a 750-16 NDT or I would probably buy them. How have these brands of tires worked for you? Any advice is very much appreciated. :)

Here is a good thread on the different brands of tires out there
Stay away from the speedways as they seem very small

Thanks for the Info Ernie. Say, did you ever get a motor number off the WC you brought home? Always curious to see if they stayed with the factory installed motor or swapped out with a civi. Motor. Thanks again. :D
