asked by: Steve
Helpful Expert Reply:
We do have several 215/60-8 tires like the # AM3H323 but nothing in a radial. The smallest radial tire that we stock is a 145/80-12 in part # AM31202. This would be a fairly significant change in tire size. The 215/60-8 measure about 18.1" in diameter and 8.9" wide. The 145/80-12 measure about 21.3" diameter and 5.7" wide.
It really comes down to how much clearance you have in your wheel well. Going to larger tires is possible, but we have to have at least 3" of clearance between the tire and the fender on top, and at least 1" on the sides.
While Radial tires are durable, bias tires can work just as well especially for off-road and agricultural applications. They have a stiffer sidewall than radial tires and will create a smoother ride when towing on uneven surfaces.
