Default More tyre questions

Hello All,

Can people let me know if I am going to have the same trouble sourcing a supplier of 34 x 7 tyres for my Chevy MCP? The modern equivalent is 700 x 20

I suppose the next question is the possibility of converting from suicide rims to split rims - the type that are bolted together. I have heard that some tyre fitters are starting to refuse to work with suicide rims. Yes, I know they did earn their nickname too.

Some more details of the tyre taken from an old relic sitting on the truck then looked up on the internet:

700 x 20 (34 x 7) B.F.Goodrich
Brand B.F. GOODRICH
Construction CROSS-PLY - 8 PLY POLYESTER
Max. Load 1980 lbs @ 42 psi
Overall Diameter 889 mm
Section Width 175 mm
Tread Width 124 mm
Tube Type / Tubeless TUBE TYPE
Weight 13 kg

Kind Regards
Lionel
