Re: cj3a tire conversion
Glen, this has come up quite frequently on the ****** Tech mailing
list, it's hosted on Yahoo- you should subscribe & do a search for the
relavent articles.
The general concensus is that radial tires are the way to go, IIRC
Dunlop "Rovers" seem to be the current favorite. The proper sizes
don't have P code, they're still listed as something like 10.5x31.
The narrowest I've found listed were something like 8.5, although I've
heard there may be a 7.5 " bias ply "snowplow" tire available
(Firestone?). If you want to stay with the NDTs they're available
from Coker Tire, & the current US goverment supplier for NDTs (has a
name that starts with "T" but thats all I can remember :( ) seems to
have local dealers all over the place for thier main line which is
heavy equipment tires. Check around, ya might get lucky :).
