These tire sizes are "nominal" sizes. The only fixed dimension is the rim diameter size where they need to match the 14" rim. That said, it is highly likely that any 27x8.5x14 tire will fit. I use the BFG Radial All-Terrain T/A for several reasons including the extra sidewall ply compared to almost all other tires. JUST DON'T MIX TIRES FROM DIFFERENT MAKERS ON THE SYNCRO, they may not be close enough to avoid trouble with the viscous coupling. Regards, Jim Davis |
