Tire Questions!

[nme]

Hi folks,

everybody knows, the original 8.3x22 rear tires are hard to get or VERY expensive. So I decided to replace them.
My local tire dealer said, 9.5x22 should fit perfectly, but they are still quite expensive here (Germany, 180 EUR/250 USD each).

Does anyone know which sizes also fit the original rims? Either agricultural profile or industrial....
I cannot find a company like HeyWheel over here, so I am stuck with the original rims....

thanks!

$250 seems like a pretty fair price. I spend about $6 million a year with Firestone so am a fairly large dealer for them. A 95-22 6 ply FS Farm Lug costs me $213.95.

OK, thanks for the info!
Checked with the dealer again, 2 tyres incl. putting them on the rims and getting rid of the old ones will cost me 450 EUR/630 USD.

guess I will stick with the old kind of fragile tires then for some more time
