tires.... again

[peter simundson]

When i built my 15 cwt I took the tires I put on it, which were US 9:00 x 16 to the tire installer with my 15cwt rims. The old timer at the shop and I had a talk. I told him the rims had 5 degree markings on the old tires. His answer was "Don't worry about it if they are 9:00 x 16 tires on the same size rims they will work OK. And they did. Never had a problem. He said he had installed the tires on CMP's before and everything worked OK.
