15 6.50 8 Carlisle
« on: January 13, 2010, 09:24:56 pm »
Has anyone mounted Turf Master 15-6.50X8 on a 8 inch wide rim. Looking at them but the sidewall looks pretty small to stretch that far.

I put some 16x6.50.8 on without problems. I did have a little trouble getting one to seal, so I had to stick a tube in it. I will just run that one on the inside since I prefer to run a lower air pressure for better handling.

They area a narrower tire than the 16x6.5-8. Even though they are both stated at 6.5 they are not. The 15x6.5-8 works great on a 6x8 rim. They end up being a low profile with maximum bite from tread. Any wider rim and you won't have a sidewall and have the rim lip in the dirt when cornering.
