Alright, treadwright lists section width, and tread width. Which do you think is the second number in a standard tire size? (Like 35x12.50/15 which is the "12.50")

I don't know, but I'm pissed that they don't have 32's or 33's in a 15".

Ya they are great I am just mad that I have worn down a pair so fast. Once I get my new trackbar I will have it aligned. When I took it in to get it aligned before they said they couldn't do it because the rear shocks weren't installed (we had to drill out the bolts first). Is it bs that the rear shocks had to be in for an alignment or is that true?

Does anyone know if it's possible to swap the black plastic trim off a '92 for chrome trim? I noticed the chrome trim is cut different.

Last time my belt in my 1500 was squeaking my belt tensioner ended up locking up on me, grenaded the belt en route to work.

I had assumed it was the AC clutch because it didn't work. It was intermittent, which I guess could has been only squeeky when the pulley didn't move. It never seized when I checked it though.

I know that.

On treadwrights site for metric size, 315/75/16, they list section width and tread width, which would be the width?

(Guess I could've worded it like that the first time lol)

How do Baja Claw Radial TTC do on road? I see mainly off road reviews on them. They are clearly superior off road.

Section is tire width. Tread is how wide the tread pattern is from side lug to side lug.
Tires are generally measured in section width, IIRC.
