Angelo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I have 9.00-20 tires on my engine. They are brand new but dry rotted due to age and sitting. Anyone have a lead on replacements. No one I called even wants to touch it with 10ft pole Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70310-52-l-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
67RModel Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 They are available through various retailers online. Options are kind of limited though. Probably your best bet then take them along with your wheels to a commercial tire shop and have them changed. Not a lot of shops around anymore that want to mess with tube type tires and lock rings...... https://simpletire.com/brands/deestone-tires/d108#v=1&tireSize=9.00-20&mpn=ds2080&pageSource=sizeCatalog&itemId=140274&curationSeq=1&curationPos=4&badge=Best deal&curationSource=top-pick-top-picks&pick=special-deals&delivery=Del3&rad=EE Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70310-52-l-model/#findComment-506850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

609albert Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 do you have Mack spoke type or Budd wheels ? my previous reply I had spoke wheels and the new daytons fit right on the hubs no problem ,painted light gray can't really tell the difference,all about safety 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70310-52-l-model/#findComment-506960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 If you have spoke type wheels, just buy the rim, even 10 stud I believe tubeless steel rims are readily available to suit as well Last time I looked into buying tubed or tubless with a rim it was only $30.00 more to buy a new rim compared to buying a new tube, rust band and tyre, it really was to me a no brainer and the best thing I have done tyre wise, makes the truck so much more reliable and drive so much better Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70310-52-l-model/#findComment-506978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
