Trying to find tires for Series 8 wheels.

Tire Rack doesn't have them.

Discount Tire Driect doesn't have them.

What's up with that? It's like the size no longer exists.

I believe that most just go up to 245/50-16 for summer

The key is rolling diameter matching to the 235/50.

Ok, but I was concerned that a 245 would be too wide for a 7-1/2" rim.

if you really want 235, edgeracing has toyo proxes t1r in a 235/50r16 size for 114 each, that's the only brand i've found in that size. 245s aren't too wide for 7.5s, that's what's been on my car since before i bought it.

I as well had a hard time finding 235s and toyo was the only one who made them. I went with a suggestion that I believe Terry gave me on a previous post just to go to 245. They work just fine.

Yea, if you have another pict of a different angle that would be good. Not sure if the sides of the tire look "bulged" which is what I was afraid of.

Unless you have a low profile tire they are going to bulge just a little bit. Sorry I haven't had a chance to take better pics. Will definitely take some today though.
