They are D-window Cragars 347 sound right? They are just 31x10.50s Definity M/T's made by Cooper, I'll probably step up to 33x10.50s next time but $$ was a little tight on this round of tire purchasing so i went with the 31's.  :2thumbs:


Oh and old school, this is Florida, not Nevada. Though there is some nasty sand out here in some places  :naughty: :eek4: :cheers:

Just my .02 but I think they look better on the truck than they did on your Cuda. The ones you have on the Cuda now just plain ROCK!!   :2thumbs:

Those look good on there.  Makes me wonder if the 14 inch rallyes would fit on my beater caravan once I put the new 15 inchers on the Cuda.  At least it is still a Mopar.   ;D

whats the gearing in the pumpkins ?

if the truck came with 28 inch tires originally, the jump to 33's might make it feel like a dog with the smaller motor.


I have 4.30s in my Toyota and 33's     and   4.56 to 4.88 would be alot more friendly with them both on and off road.  These little motors that bit of gearing makes a difference.

I agree in that the old Cuda wheels look a lot more at home on the truck.  :working:
