    Anyone have pictures of Firestone 500/525-16 tires on their car? I just got mine in the mail and they look tiny. Did I screw up?
     
  2. Sounds like it is a low load tire. What weight is it rated for?

    they always look small wrapped up in the plastic. I thought my 7.50-16 were small until they were mounted up

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't mounted them yet, just need to know if I should exchange them. Right now they look like skinny motorcycle tires!

    They will look fine once they are mounted.

    You’ll probably be fine with them but for comparison here are 2 pictures to consider. My Coupe had 600/16’s on it in both pictures. My Buddy Mel’s (Youngrodder) sedan has 500/525x16’s on it.(I believe both cars had 750/16’s on the rear)
