Re: Modern Radials
Let me rephrase the question: Does anyone have any experience running current radials on wider rims, such as 15 x 5.5 or 16 x 5.5 or even 6" wide rims? I am concerned about tires rubbing on fenders and frame, or greatly reducing the turning radius.
As stated in my original post, I am familiar with all the options with the vintage tires, however they are impossible to get on short notice in Alaska, Canada and many parts of the western US. Many tire shops will not put tires on rims that are narrower than factory recommendations. Some will not even fix a flat in those situations.
