dont use used 'car' tires, they dont have the load rating for a trailer, but i dont see any reason not to use a used truck tire if a true trailer tire is out of the question money wise
like tyler said make sure to carry a spare, and you might be able to find some tires on craigslist cheap
build thread now! between eric and I (while we are still on), along with faggie, we can help you with whatever you need.
gonna be hard to find a truck tire in the 205-225 variety suit for his use. any meskin shop will get you 4 new trailer tires for $300 cash out the door.
afaik any dana 30 lunchbox locker will work in any d30 cause they are all the same spline count despite hp or lp
Red 81 CJ5, 35's, 4.10 and detroit, 4 to 1 dana 300, tbi efi, flat belly, cage, chromos and auzzie in front... sometimes runs. body damage to come
If we are doing this at Travis's house, and anyone wants to come help me out with my fourwheel drive on buckwheat, that would be great

another place to get trailer tires is the trash pile at tire places. u don't need alot of tread on a trailer tire. just for it to have the highest load rating you can get your hands on and no dry rot. tires that are no longer good for a car can work on a trailer......

With all due respect, and I do mean, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, that is the dumbest post on the internet at this time. Just look it up on that alexis site or whatever. It has a dumb index of like one brazillion....
DON'T cheap out on trailer tires unless you are stuck trying to get home from a trip. Trying to save a few bucks on a tire might cost you ten fold that when it blows out. Especially if you are towing someone else's rig.
Hankook F19's are good tires, don't know that they have them in a 15 though.
let me help you out here...

Keep an eye out for 80 Series parts on all of these club websites. They are all Texas based clubs that are either Toyota 4x4 enthusiasts or straight up Land Cruiser clubs. Most folks have 80 Series cruisers for family hauling duty so parts are plentiful. The final link is to IH8MUD the numero uno source for all Land Cruiser stuff (but I am sure you already knew that ) Their classified section is extensive and plentiful. Someone will be selling something somewhere.
Also to install any thing in your 80 series Diff (it is a 9.5" Chunk) you will have to drop the actual diff out of the axle not just pull the cover on the back side. In my opinion it is actually easier than the jeep and one-ton boys but to each their own.
