this ones got me fxed, and damned if the interweb is giving me the answers I
need this am (prolly me though).

Looking at our Rice Horse trailer yesterday, and spotted that all the tyres
are, shall we say in need of replacement?

So, a shufty at the side of the tyre gives me "6.7-15c 98/96L"

Measuring the tyre, the visible rim is 16" (so guessing a 1/2 inch bead
would give a 15in tyre?)

The visible sidewall is 160mm, and the width across the tread is 120mm.

so, does that mean (if i am understanding tyre bits) that a 170/70R15 would
fit? that being an extra 10mm to allow for the beading bit, 70 being
120/170 and 15 being the real rim diameter?

or has anyone else got a 1960's vintage Rice Beaufort and can tell me what
tyres they've got on it?

cheers

Si
