Tire sizing

[ssheaven]

I have a l2850 4wd with the rear tires 355/80d 20 . They are in bad shape along with the rims . I found a used set of 13.6 x 16 off a l2500 . Would those work for my l2850 ? Being 4wd wanted to make sure they wouldn't screw it up

All the tire situations all boils down to how big around was the OEM vs what you want to place on it......The RC - rolling circumference is where is matters - IF your old tires had a RC of "x" - AND YOU have 4WD .....you best be damn close to "X" when you get new tires........anything +/- a percent or two and your tranny will tell you later.....that you placed it in a bind!

Replace both front and back - if possible.......NOW - if'n you aint gonna use 4wd - you can place 35 on em - ifn they fit!

I would say no they won't work as the 355/80D 20 has an RC of the 124, and the 13.6 x 16 has the RC of 114, so a difference of 10.
Well that is unless you change the size of the front tires too.

You can save a whole bunch of money buying 41x1400-20 Carlisle turf tires that are within acceptable range of rolling circumference percentage and WAY less money than the Bridgestone 355/80D20's by far.
