</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Here are the 7-16 size in a Firestone. They have R-1 tread but are actually called G-1 by Firestone. One salesman told me the "G1" designation meant "garden".Firestone )</font>
If at all possible, get your eyeballs on the tires before buying them. The Firestone site pictures were different from real life appearance on tires I bought last year. I replaced all 4 tires on a Ford 1210. The original R1's were much more aggressive than the newer G1's, although the pictures of the G1's looked just like my original R1's. The bars on the G1's I was looking at were about half as high and thick as the original tires.
Fortunately I was able to find all four tires in the discontinued design. The rears were found at one of the first places I looked, about 20 minutes away from my house. The fronts were a different story. I finally located them about 100 miles away..................chim
