[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 288493, member: 7376"] I would not run a 8" tire/rim if I had the option of going to 12". One reason is speed. Those little 8" tires really hum at 65 mph. Seems like they're turning about 80 or better. Reason two, the 12" tires usually have less rolling resistance. Reason 3-the 12's last longer. Reason 4-the 12's ride a LOT better; and they're easier on the towed load (trailer and boat). There's only one reason to go back to an 8" rim and that's if a 12 won't fit. [/QUOTE]
