I have decided to go to 12-4 tires on the rear of my CA. I was thinking of going to a larger front tire. Has anyone put larger front tires on thier CA? What rims have you been able to use? Also, somewhere I saw three rib front tires were all three ribs were the same size. Most three ribs I have seen have the middle rib larger for better turning.

You might try 5.00x15 implement tires rather than the tractor type 3 ribs. If you want something other than tractor tires, I like either 165x15 radials or 5.60x15 bias tires that were used on the "old" VW Beetles. Kip

If you have a narrow front CA 15" wider tires may touch at the bottom. I think 5x15 tri ribs are OK. I have a junker C with car tires that touch.

Should have mentioned my CA has a wide front end. Thanks.
