Tire Size

[Mike Hohnstein]

It should be noted, the 7.5 wheels and the 11R22.5 14 ply rated package
provided by the factory was, and still is marginal, for the real world weight on
an FCs axles.
The suggested pressures of 75 on the rears and 105 on the steers, as the tag on
my 83 states, is off the mark. Reminds me of the Ford Explorer/Firestone
debacle.

Jim actually the 11R22.5 tires only need 7.50X22.5 rims as my 1982
FC35 came from the factory with.
