Difference in size.....
I compared an old worn 1940 chevron 9:00 x 16 tire against a modern 9:00x16 US bar thread..... the new tire is at least 3 inches taller...... that's why the new bar thread will not fit the spare tire opening.
It's not a problem on my cab 11... it was designed for run flat tires and NO provision for a spare...... I plan on filling my 10:50 x 16 tires with marchmallows so I can use them as run flats......
Anybody knows how many marchmallow per tire I will need....
38 inches times 3.1416 x 10:50 divided by a constant of 16.009 at the fourth power.... hum..... lots!!!!!
