Put some new tires on the ol' Girl
I picked up some Michelin 9.00R16 military XL's with a Bandag BRM retread on them. They measured out to 36.5" on the tape measure. Took a fair bit of weight to balance but ride smoother than the 285's that were on it. Had to trim the fender flares a little to get them to fit. Photos were taken on a FSR about 5km up the road from where I live. Took them out for a little test on some gravel and rocky climbs. Too dry around here right now to test them in the mud. They look like a tighter fit in the front wheel wells than they actually are, the tires only catch the fender on really hard drops into some of the deep water channels.
And if you click this its a vid of me finishing off the old 285's
