radial replacements
i have a 1977 dump truck with the old 7.50-16 bias ply tires. I want to put some radials on it but i want to stick to the same size. about 32 tall and 9 wide because of the duals. anyone have an idea on a size

with the calculator in the second post, you can insert your current tires
and in the compare size portion you can input the 215/85r16s
You will find that these are real close in size.

The reality is the 235/215 85r16s will only be about 30 to maybe 31 inches tall max. The numbers do not match up to real life size, just my experience fwiw.
If you need 32+ that narrow you have to go to an Interco type tire or a Buckshot mudder. I do not think Denman makes radials that size anymore.
