Re: taking a poll on tires

That does not look like a farm truck to me. Red split rims, hub caps with snow tires says fire truck and not what i would want to drive.

There is nothing positive that can be said about split rims and 7.50 tires. They came off imediately.
I've always hated those turbine wheels on anything, anyone has ever mounted them on, painted or unpainted. Personal choice. just don't like them.

That's what has been on my '67 and in that order. I would say tire choice and availability has been the deciding force. 7.50x16 then 16.5".

I like the look of the steelies but I'd upgrade them to some 16x7s or 8s and shelf the split rims. The turbines don't look bad either.
