Charles Aarons 04-02-2002, 01:08 AM A place called Bill's Tires in Pacheco, Calif., 925-689-2678 is selling Michelin 9.00R16 XZLs new at $165 each. 36.5" od, 10.3" wide on 6.5" rims, load rating 3750 lb @ 65 psi, 4240 lb @ 80 psi. Quieter and longer running than XLs, still pretty aggressive open mud tread. That's an unbeatable price. Charlie offroadr35 04-02-2002, 06:00 AM wow, that is an awesome price for those tires. I heard they hook up on the rocks as well as anything out there. I was looking for a set about a year ago but couldn't find them for under 400 a pop. -Steve D60 04-02-2002, 09:37 AM Michelin's website apparently lists a top speed of 62 mph. Is this so? Got any pics of this size mounted on a rig?

With the XZLs, if you want to run them at 75, add 10 psi. That's what I do with my XLs and XMLs. Charlie | |
