Default Rolling diameter is the critical dimension....

Hi Hatty

So with a 235...... assuming all the horses have had there daily ration of oats you are running with at least a 50% improvement in HP and 30% in torque over the original 216......

We compared the 9x16 tires next to a 10:50 tire and noticed approx. a 2 inch increase in height..... and almost half way between a 9x16 and a 11x20 tire.
The 10:50 does fill the fenderwell nicely.

On my current set of 9x16 of which are two Goodyear and two other brands like the Mohawk.... they are still mounted on my C15a........ when resting on the concrete barn floor....all four tires are of different heights...... even the two Goodyear are about an inch different.....over all the four tires there is almost a 2 inch difference....... now it make sense that in the first section of the MB C2 so much attention is written about insuring that tire sizes are properly matched....... I can now understand the stress the driveline of my C15a would have if fully loaded and driven in 4x4....... .

Setting up your brakes properly and keeping them up to specs is essential to having dependable brakes...... we are not used to adjusting brakes anymore on oour modern vehicles....... good old days my foot..... noticed how many adjustments are needed after even just a 1000 miles.
