Finally got them mounted. Golden boy sr244, 3" front and rear. Back is a bit narrow, but I think it'll grow on me.

And I know, I need a new chain. I'm hoping this one lasts me through the winter. Its probably the original.

Do you have a link to those? They look like they may be a good fit for my Scrambler Project.

I got them off Amazon, but am not sure what the seller was. Here are some quick links, but some ebay-ing and amazon-ing might get you cheaper. I seem to remember they were under $35 each...

One warning though, the 18" front has a max speed rating of 75 mph, though the rear has a rating of 93 mph. Not sure why the huge difference in tires that, except for diameter are otherwise identical, but there you have it.

Also, if you had 18/18 wheels, they go wide in 18", but the 16's only come in 3.00 that I could find.

Thanks! I am stuck with the 16/18 set-up so far. I am surprised how difficult it is to find a spoked 18 rear for a drum brake. I'll check into the tires you listed.

Thanks,

Jim :cool:
