the 31x15.50x15 tire will work fine on the 15x12 steel rim you can run pretty low tire pressure also but remember the lower you go the more likely to lose the bead on it and have a flat mostly while on sidelings.i ran this for years and ran around 6 to 8 psi,i also found some stock car tubes with locking valve stems that was made for a tire of this size and ran them with no problems for years and would drop down to 4 or 5 pounds when needed to get out of bad stuff.but after i rode with willie at d&k the wife said you will have beadlocks and i love them an investment that should be made on any buggy imo.if you ride wellsville bite the bullet and get b/l's they will be worth it cause you can take all the air out and get out of bad places or cut a tire down and still get off the trail,piece of mind and not being down is worth alot to me.but mount them up until you get the beadlocks and run them you will be fine.chad
Thanks. I just needed some reinsurance that I would be ok. Only had the buggy for about 3 years, the first 2 were spent rebuilding the entire drive train.
After finding out I bought a POS.
That’s why I’m asking questions so I can have somewhat of piece of mind on a low budget. And yes can’t wait to get a set of b/l’s just for that reason of getting a flat in the woods. Thanks Gasman! Hope to ride w/u in the feuture.
