New Wheels Need New Rubber

Recommended Posts

Got these 2 bad boys in the mail today. Pair of 8" diameter x 8-1/2" wide wheels. These are going on the back of my '62 Lawn Ranger project.

 

Tire size im looking for is 18x9.50-8. I have a few options. I can go with a lug style (Carlisle "Super Lug"), I can go with a stud style (Carlisle ATV "Knobby"), or i can go with some kind of aggressive ATV style (Ocelot P311 shown below).

 

Front tires are Carlisle "Studs", 4.10x6 on 6" wheels.

 

What do you guys think? I was kinda thinking the Knobby tires, since they aren't as common. Howver, they aren't exactly "tractor style" tires like the Super Lugs.

I was also looking at the OTR "Trac Master", as I like the curved bars vs the straight ones on the Carlisle Super Lugs, but these are only available in 18-8.50x8, an inch narrower. Not sure how they would look on the 8.5" wide rim.

My vote would be to keep it looking like a tractor and use the Carlisle tires.

But it's your ride.

I think any of them would look decent.

I'd go with traditional tractor style. Or go for all both at same time. Like these and your picture
