NEED ADVICE ON SPLIT RIMS.

Yeah I was talking with a guy yesterday that had a set and he almost crashed in a corner. Return label has been printed and tires will be shipped tomorrow.

I run 7.00 x 16 on one of my Patrols. They are on original, but not split rims.

I run these because they are correct to the era.

They are about 5.5" wide.

They are the Military type profile. However I don't drive the Patrol in the wet - it is a soft top without the soft type.

I find that after a few days of being parked they develop 'flat spots' and the Patrol shakes and rattles for about 10kms before they warm up and return to round.

I was hoping to keep that old original look too but not willing t ok make the trade off. I have decided to go with 29x8.50 superswampers.
