Hi JP,
I am in need of new tires for my 64 IIA 88 and I confess it's more about getting the right look than it is about tire performance for me these days. I have always run a 215/85-16 but am considering a 235/85-16 because there are more choices.
Anyway, I saw your resto-mod on the long-running thread and wondered what tire you have on it? It really looks the part.
Thanks,
Myron
Hey Myron,
They are Joyroad MT200's in 235/85R16. I'm running them on Wolf rims. My spare was just a little big for the bonnet, which is why I'm not running it up there. The M416 trailer has been converted to Rover rims and is running military NDT 7.00-16 tires, which is what the spare up front is, and these work just fine on the Rover as a spare.
The Joyroad's are a cheap chinese tire I got when I got to the "I need a rolling chassis" stage of the rebuild. But they actually aren't that bad. They ride ok, are not super loud (may change with wear), and are actually decent in the rain. But I only have about 1500 miles on them.
