Tire Swap + Money Ta' Boot

Wicksfield · Apr 16, 2019

I'm running 7.50X16 on my 656. Neighbor has an old 560 with 9.5LX15 tires that he will trade me wheels and tires. Both are three ribbed. My tires and wheels are in good shape. His has plenty of rubber but a little weather checked plus I'll have to paint his wheels. His wheels are faded to the point of pink. What would be a fair amount of money to also give him for the swap?

Thanks for your response.

I would rather have the 7.50 x 16's.

I have 7-50 16s on my 560 with 16-9 s on the rear , it looks pretty tough.

Even or no trade. He gets new you get used, he gets paint you get to paint. I would only trade even if I wanted higher flotation. Jim

I'd keep the 16's . If you really need to trade for some reason I would want to get moeny to boot. Like said you get to paint he gets paint. I don't think there would be much difference in load carrying capacity nor the floatation be much different either. While the 15's would be slightly wider yours are taller to increase the length of the ground contact. If you want more floataion put a pair of 10 ply or E rated tires on off from a pickup.

I would be inclined to trade even up. and I would trade, though it might be a little hard on your spindles.

He wants you to pay HIM in this deal??? You're coming out on the short end in an even trade.

Trading good tires for rotten old tires is NEVER a good deal.
