    Hey y'all.
    I have a question about Coker tire widths for my 6" Supreme wheels (on the back I'm running Supreme 10s with Radir 10x15 ww slicks).

    The Coker 57700 tire recommended rim width is 5"-6".
    Specs:
    Tire Tread Width: 4.50''
    Tire Section Width: 6.70''
    Tire Overall Diameter: 27.25''
    Wheel Diameter: 15''
    Recommended Wheel Width: 5.0'' - 6.0''
    Construction: 4 Ply Poly; Tubeless

    ...and the Coker 566050 tire recommended rim width is 4.5"-5"
    Specs:
    Tread Width: 4.45"
    Tire Cross Section Width 6.61"
    Tire Overall Diameter: 27.01"
    Wheel Diameter: 15"
    Recommended Wheel Width: 4.50" - 5"

    My question is why cant the 566050 work on a 6" rim? It has nearly the same cross section and tread width as the 566050.

    I'm trying to keep the profile as low as possible with a 2 1/8" ww to match the rear, so my choices are limited.

    Anyone????

    They claim my 7.50x16 Coker's won't fit a 35 Ford wheel, but they pop right on nice, and held air for 3 years so far.

    I think you can use the tire size of your choice

    Coker has to protect themselves and sets standard guide lines to do so. HRP
