Here’s a great little post on the BP about tire size equivalents. Currently I’m running a set of 32×11.5R15 BF Goodrich Mud Terrains, but I’d like to set them aside for a smoother road-going tread at some point. It looks like 16″ tires are more plentiful, so the first thing I’d need is a set of four rims to mount tires on. I’d been led to believe I would need something like an LT315/70R15, but the BP thread is saying a 265/75R16 would work on a 16″ rim and sit at the same height as a 32″. Which would mean that a set of four Dunlop Radial Rovers (the brand I preferred on Chewbacca) would be about $118/tire.

Here’s a handy link to IH stamping codes, based on some information I found here:
N = 1968
P = 1969
R = 1970
S = 1971
T = 1972
W = 1973
X = 1974
Y = 1975
Z = 1976
A = 1977
B = 1978
C = 1979
D = 1980
I’m curious to see if the 345 in Peer Pressure dates the same as the frame, the body, or perhaps the VIN plate.
