[VAC] Another tire question
I have a 1966 22' Safari. Currently running H78-15 bias tires..which I
believe are the same as 225-75R15...correct? Mine are load range D, which
comes out to about 5080 lbs on my single axle. I'd like to go to load range
E, but all the listings I can find for this are for 16" wheels. I'd be
willing to buy new 16" wheels if these will work... I have 6 bolt patterns
wheels. Will I be able to find 16" wheels that will then take range E tires
for this application? The loaded trailer is probably close to the max D
rating, so I'd like more margin of error. Anybody know what brand wheels
would work for this?
Thanks.
