Re: 1979 K20 pitman arm rubbing my 315/75/r16 - is this normal?

 Love the classic look and they *should* have great traction. The page you linked had virtually no info as to specs, though. Probably a bias-ply tire so it will ride worse and wear out faster than most radials. If it has nylon plies, it will flat-spot when parked. As a plus, bias-ply tires generally have greater resistance to sidewall punctures than radials. It could be the best choice for a working 4x4 as long as you're willing to live with a few disadvantages.

Thanks Stoker. You're right, the lack of info on the page is disappointing.
You said: "Probably a bias-ply tire so it will ride worse and wear out faster than most radials. If it has nylon plies, it will flat-spot when parked" which is the info I was looking for. Much appreciated, I know I can pass on these then (I tend to do more highway driving than off road driving).
