I have been looking into buying the tires for Sonne. Some Shasta guys say
Grabbers and some say BFGs. I have Grabbers on Wieder (zebra) and love them!
The BFGs are smaller than the Grabbers but have better load rating. BFGs D-8
ply and Grabbers C-6 ply. I love how the Grabbers look and fear the BFGs won't
look as tough. Grabbers 27/8.50R14 (216/76R14) BFGs 195/74/R14 (195/75R14)
BFGs are 1.41" smaller in diameter/.83" smaller in width/4.43" smaller in
circumference/.71" shorter in sidewall height. Currently my Grabbers (borrowed
from Wieder) are not fitting in on the rear of Sonne. My metal guy blames the
WW metal pieces being off, I am not so sure of that. So maybe BFGs will fit
without re-doing the metal work. Grabbers are cheaper and I imagine will look
tougher being that they are larger and will give Sonne more clearance. I am
thinking of staying with Grabbers. What do you guys think?
