Id like to know if anyone has researched a replacement 16" (sixteen, not sixteen and a half) rim for the skids with the 8 bolt wheels. Im assuming all the machines run the same bolt pattern / circle with the 8 bolt wheels (Ive got a 1999 New Holland Lx885). Dont know if this bolt pattern is the same at the light trucks, and then there is the offset? Id like to run some dedicated light truck Load Range E snow tires for plowing snow this winter, and Im pretty sure they dont make 16.5"s anymore, the 16"s in LRE dedicated snow are hard enough to come by. Wanted to ask this question, before I spend several hours trying to figure it out, cant be the first one wanting snow tires on their machine? For those of you that live in the snow belt, and have not run dedicated "Snow" tires made in the last 10 years might not understand what Im up to, if you have run some of the good, computer designed / generated tread patterns of late, on a car or truck, you then know the fantastic performance of these tires and why Id want them on my skid. Anybody " been there, done that " or know any good reason not to do it, or what works better. I cant run chains, but could run studs, prefer to run just good tires. Comments? thanks for your time and input, Bill</p></blockquote><p></p>
