Lightbulb 16 inch rims/Walley World Tires

Abody know if the bolt pattern on newer 16 in rims is the same as the 15 on my 94? Wranglers,from Walley World, same speed rating same load range as tire shop. Different tread pattern. Any ideas other than these tires must be made for them.

What year is the 16's from? That is important! Check the FAQ in the 1st Generation Dakota section for a list of wheel bolt patterns and all the Makes and years that will work.

Tons of tires out there. Try www.tirerack.com or www.BFGoodrichTires.com Or www.firestonecompleteautocare.com

Thanks, on the wheel info. Checked on the world of tires out there since we have numerous vehicles, too many, thus I looked at walley world. The Wranglers there have a footprint different from all others out there but share the same speed and load rating as others online. I have to assume it is a tire dedicated to them.

i hate wallyworld because of their tle. i bought tires from them hoping to save a few bucks and they didn't put my truck on the lift right and it fell off and messed the susspension up pretty bad. they admitted to it but won't pay for the damages.

Know the feeling Local ford dealer did that to my 99 Ranger 4x4. Had to go to the frame machine, but it developed premature rust where they straightened it. Had damage to my Saleen ground effects from poor lift positioning at 18k. This WWorld has a Tech that is a Dakota owner, he set my lift points and then let Jr. Tech change tires. Jr Tech didn't torque properly the Dak tech did.

they even had the nerve to say that i never purchased the warranty on it either and when i had a nail in the tire they told me they would patch it but if they couldn't i would have to buy a new tire. i told them to shove it up their @$$es. it was the first time i had ever b*tched a district manager out for anything, and i hope it is will be the last. as a matter of fact last time i was shopping there the district manager came running up to me with a police officer and had me escorted out of the building and off the property...last time i shop at that store.

i have had better luck at other wallyworlds but i don't like driving an hour to go shopping

Other wallyworlds? I am between two w.worlds. One takes me thru a town where the Gaestopo harasses commuters, has a stop light at every corner, has more radar than carter has nuts and are total asses. The second is ten miles further, thru the country on a 55 mph pleasant scenic drive. Sometimes its better to switch than fight. I use less gas going further and don't get harrassed.

Well if the cops keeps harassing you. File a grievance against the cop. That filing will stay on his file and go against him/her when they are up for promotion.

I did that to a cop back in NJ. Every time I went there to visit family. He would always pull me over just so he can search for drugs. Just because I have AZ plates, doesn't mean I'm a drug trafficker. Now the pig won't even look at me now.
