tires tires tires oh my
Trying to choose a set of tires but Im trying to pick the right set out so bad Im starting to feel overwhelmed. I have a set I just purchased but I'm fixing to take them back because they didn't fit my rim. They're 312x1050x15 Mickey Thompsons. The rims are a 11 inch rim so I need to get 1250's. Does anyone have any advice on what tire to consider. I wanted the mickeys but they dont make them in an 31x1250x15 so Im considering the ProComp Xterrain Xtreme and the Super Swamper Thornbird.

Dick Cepek DC1 and we measured the rim with a rim tool and it was 11, well it was a friend maybe I should re-measure. The Mickey thompsons are a 10.50 and they show to fit a min rim width of 7in and a max of 9in and I think thats standard for all 10.50 tires

I have ran 10.50 tires on 10" rims many times. However a 12.50 would be better. But if they won't give your money back, the 10.50's will work fine.

I measure today when I was at work up at the shop and it is a 10 inch rim. Still, even if the Mickey's fit they look dinky compared to the 1250. I like the way the wider tire sticks out. I just cant find it in the size I want. I test fit a friends 32x11.50x15 today and it rubbed Thats the size I think I want 32'a or 33's. I need to send my Mickeys back and I cut my fenders back so the 33's can fit. I dont have a clue on how though I have never done it before I guess Ill start to search away.
