If you want radial, then a narrow ratio would be closer (dimensionally) to a bias tire fit:

Post by: aboyandhisdog on July 12, 2019, 08:56:16 PM: That Coker looks nice to me. I haven't used any of these and don't know about snow performance. Also, I like a radial tire. This said, I like the Coker as it specifically says it doesn't hold and throw rocks, and I'm guessing mud too. This has been my one pet peeve of my Hankook radials - they grab on to the gunk and throw it all over the underside of the fenders! You never see this with the old NDT's. Other than that, I do like my tire's performance in most all other ways as compared to NDT's. A lot of the guys run the Traxion style tires and as far as I know are very happy with them.

I'm very happy with them on pavement, gravel and snow.

Post by: MikeP on December 13, 2019, 10:01:19 PM: so ive decided to change things up a bit and instead of using the 7.00-15 im gonna go with 7.50-16 power king traction II for my winter driving as to keep with the same height ish as the 7.00-16 ndcc tires for my summer driving so basically my plan is to trade my set of 15's for 16's and that'll make 2 sets of 16's and also would these be the correct tubes to use for both sets of tires
