I wish... I'm just finishing up a 23 day stint at work, and haven't touched it really since Christmas maybe?

I'm hauling it back to Ftmac with me so I can finish it up.

They're the oddball more rare 14.50R20, and they measure a true 42x13.

You want the 325/85R16's, they're about a 38.5x13. The 11.00R16 are a 37x11, they don't measure to their spec... Hell, these 42's are supposed to be 43.5's...
