Tire Size!

Ok its time for some new tires. I want a bigger tire in the back. What is the biggest size that will fit in the back?? Will a 295/50/16 work??

Thanks

The size is 305/40/16 and they fit without no spacers at all, just throw them in there and the pedal to the metal!
Have 13psi in them without bolting them into the wheel.
Don´t have to heat them up.....when they are fresh....
And.... they are slippery when wet!

But i´m starting to look at the new M/T design now..... look´s like the M/T tire have softer rubber to play with.....

Dang...almost rite with the size.

I called M&H last year and their plant was in the process of relocating.Thats why they had dropped out of site to accomplish this.

What I did to get their phone number was to call Summit racing and ask their phone tech for the phone number since Summit use to carry M&H tires.Whalla..Thats how I know bout theyre moving.

They should be up and running now...I would guess
