Rear tire question.........

[mrcj001]

My B1750 2WD has 9.5-16 rear tires.......Will 8-16 tires fit the rim

the reason I ask there is a $75.00 per tire price difference between the two sizes.

As long as you get the right RIM size....you can place almost anything on it! YOUR 2wd drive needs not any magical rolling circumference math.

And if you fill them - the amounts are roughly the same :

8-16 11.7 gal

9.5-16 12 gal

Looking in the owners manual, it wasn't clear that there was a alternative "rim" width......

The cost difference is $150 for the set with the 8-16 VS the 9.5-16

Does the tire manufacturer suggest a range of rim widths for the tire like they do for automotive tires?

Yes they do.
