[QUOTE="RUQWKNF, post: 14370163, member: 149115"] With a contact patch size of 8.6" wide for the # 3754 tire, if you put that on a 10" wide rim, the height will be shorter and the tire will be stretched on the wheel. With that tire having a real tread to sidewall definition/line, you would have the very top edge of the sidewall being forced to serve contact patch duty. Which in the long run is not good. It would probably put your installed height at 26.5" to 26.8"+/-. I personally would not put that tire on a 10" wide rim as it's better suited for a 8" wide wheel. Bias ply fronts, we have a four options, if you are using a 17" wheel.

If I had to choose between these options, I'd probably go with the M&H Racemaster front first, then the Phoenix second.
