Re: Jailbar Ranch
I had a post here titled 'Prone to Wander'.... Some of the guys recognized it as an old Baptist Hymn.....( Don't ask me why I know about that ).... But.... radial tires solved it so well. I LOVE bias ply tires. I probably have 50 of them here on my 10 acres. I love doing king pins and front end stuff. Leaf springs with new bushings etc, but Nuttin' ever did as much as switching to radials. On my red diesel tonner I have michelliun 7.50 x 17 radials just on the front. Bias snow on the rear. YES, I know you aren't s'posed to mix them up but at 40 mph and all drum manual brakes I'm fine. The woodie has 4 radials.... Now my wife likes driving it too!
