So the Willys truck project has stumped me again. In the essence of keeping the truck more original, traditionally the truck would've ridden on 6.50-16 bias ply tires. I have also thought about more modern 31x10.5r16's. Both are readily available, but which is the better option?
If I go tubed, I can carry more spare tubes/patches so long as I don't damage the tire badly. At the same time, a bent rim because a much smaller issue as well. Tubeless however would probably be much more reliable at lower PSI, and if you have a full size spare and a patch kit, it's a pretty simple fix compared to knocking a tire off the rim...
Thoughts?
