Sylvester Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I am being a little cautious about jumping right in and buying that L model.It has 10.00x 22 tires. Are they available still? Who makes them?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Some of the foreign makers still produce them,but don't let that stop you.Simply replace the rims with 24.5 tubeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 BAH !!! Tubeless & radials Double BAH! tubes and flatbase forever.←I remeber well in about 1978 I changed from bias ply flat base to drop center tubless rims on my working Hwy Tractor. It even made that thar Hendrickson seem like a smooth ride!But this L model is a "Vintage Unit" so any sources truxnut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truxnut Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 My local independent tire dealer has imports [korean-chinese] hiway tread only in bias for about $200 with flap& tube. Find someone that sells truck tires that is a indenpent and the should be able to take care of you. AZ weather kills radials in about 4-5 years and bias are not so badly affected. I admit a radial sure does improve the ride and tubless run cooler. But for looks and longivity I like my flatbase bias. Quote John Evans, Trucks & Dogs are expensive!!

Packer Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 [Just bought some 10.00X20 tires. Paid $150.00, give or take, and that was taking my old tires off, mounting the new ones, and this is WITH tubes and flaps.
