Default Time for tires
I am thinking of going with a 150/90/16 in the rear & a 120/90/16 in the front. Anyone run this before? Not sure if the 150 will fit so it might be a 140 instead, but would really like to go with the 150. Thanks

Toby

140R/130F would work on a 99.

Is this different than what it says in your owners manual? If so, why run different sizes? Just curious.

I like bigger rear tires & narrower front's. Alway's have & always will. It came stock with 130/90/16 F&R.
