Just got my 74 canyonlands and noticed it had p24575r16s instead of what I've being seen recommended of p22575r16s the extra inch heigth does make it tight in the back at the bag T cover, I also feel it could make the tranny work harder. They've been on there for 5 years and plenty of tread but sidewalls dryrotted so I was going to be replacing soon, any input on one brand and size over another.

Also found that both rear drums removed and disc only put on front rear wheels and no parking brake at all, did find a 12vdc linelock in the box that never did get installed. Is it the norm to just put disc on the front rears only?

I've seen these classics for years but until you get one yourself you don't realize how "special" they are, in a good way.

Thanks again
