Re: [VAC] 'tires
a little on tires. yes the bias ply tire is a bit stiffer at the side wall.
it will not give as much.and it also will generate a little more heat.the
radial tire will give a much more forgiving ride but beware and caution.(load
rating) should be L/T. it stands for light truck. do not get car tires the
are not recomended.another important thing to remember is the proper
inflation. under inflating will also generate heat.but over inflate is prone
to excessive expansion on long hauls. check as you go. please do remember
that a vintage camper may also loose rivets from a harsh ride of too stiff a
tire. hope this helps someone from Joe Campbell and his 56 overland
