FWIW, the Michelin 165HR15 tires on my BN1 are on Dayton 60 spoke chrome
wheels. They work very well.

Depends on the rims. I believe original rims for a 100 are 4 inches
wide (with 48 spokes); if you look at tire guides the largest tire
recommended for that size rim, in a radial, is a 165/70-15. A larger
tire on a 48-spoke wheel would probably break spokes (when I put
185/70 tires on my BJ8 with 60-spoke wheels I broke several spokes).
When I bought tires for my BN2, there were very few options in that
size--actually, only one because it doesn't get driven all that muc=
h
and I didn't want to break the bank--which Walmart special ordered
for me. They are Nexen brand, made in S. Korea. I think they look
good, handle well and were about $60/ea at the time (see attached).<br>
<br>
A few days ago I pulled the wheels to top up the shocks and
discovered the spines are worn on both the wheels and the hubs (I'm
a little disappointed in myself for not catching that, but we were
deep in a restoration and trying to get it back on the road).=C2=A0 Loo=

like a new set of hubs and wheels is in my future; I'm debating
going with 4.5" rims with 175/80s. I'll give Allan Hendrix a c=
