Did you notice the tires and wheels on the coach with the flares?

It looks like a 6by6!

Jay,

Even more interesting than the flares are these tires!

http://newbrunswick.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=294814335&ImageIndex=4

They are massive!

This coach is in New Brunswick; maybe Mike Beaton knows who owns it.

Regards,
Rob M.

Jay,
You might look at the ones we carry and see if they might work for you.

They are the same tires I have on the front of my coach. I had them mounted with the raised white letters to the inside.

I think they are wider than the ones on your coach. Look at the spare in picture #5:
<http://newbrunswick.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=294814335>

And they have the wider mud grip tires mounted on all 6 positions. (Plus the spare.)

Interesting look.... Looks like a 6by. (A 6 wheel drive 'army' truck.)

Maybe...Mine are 255/70 R 16 (10.2" section width and 8" tread width). Wider than they look in the pics. I found that any other size, that would fit on the 8" wide rims, would be almost too tall.

Ray, up in Minnesota there is a coach that is 4 wheel drive. It sits on a Chevy 4 wheel drive frame. It looks great. The fella is not on the net. He came up with the idea and built it. Gets 15 mpg on diesel. I wish I could find my copy of the picture. It is one of the very slickest coaches I have ever seen.
