Bob you bring up an interesting point, primarily for LATE HUP owners with the side mounted spare tire, if you still have the original spare tire brackets your new 10:50 X16 tires probably will not fit in the spare tire carrier. In fact new 9:00 X 16 ND don't fit. So before you mount up that 5th tire try one of the others in the spare tire holder.

I learned this the hard way years ago tried to mount a new ND in the rack and it would not fit, in fact even a well worn one can not be fully inflated. Now this may be a peculiarity of my HUP but I've looked at several others and they looked like they would have the same problem. Wonder if this is why you see some HUPs with the lower tire mount brackets for the spare torched out.
