Default Very nice.....
Hi Robert

Yes they do look nice and fill out the fender well nicely.

....and Niels..... no the tires do not rub and ride nicely at about 30/35 psi.

Robert..... you are lucky to have the later gas tank with the longer fill neck.... on the early cab 11 the vertical short filler neck is absolutely impossible to fill using a standard gas station pump.... on mine I have to use the "horsecock and funnel" or the section of radiator hose I carry just for that purpose.

Cheers
