Thank God for Hoosier, as I just bought two new sets of Douglas wheels from Don Hanley. If Hoosier would of done the same thing, that would of been a wasted $600.00 Thanks Rick Eskola

He also said that they are fully stocked with F500 tires and can fill orders instantly. Stan John Whitling wrote: Very interesting. Why would Hoosier want to continue building 10" tires any more than Goodyear? Now it's up to them to decide if we run 10's or 13's. Perhaps it's part of a 1-2 punch so the tire companies can *actually* profit from building tires for us. Profit is not a bad thing. If we do get hung with 13" tires I'll be mostly happy for the change. Rims really aren't that expensive and good quality rims are easier to find. I just hope Hoosier or whomever would make so 19-20" diameter tires so our chassis don't have to change much.
