I run & like the 28. Car would not go on the trailer with a 26 and I don't like the look of the 26.

I have run a bias ply 28" front runner for two seasons. I think they look better, they have a higher load capacity compared to the 26 and don't jack up the suspension geometry like the 26/28 combo does.

Anyone have a part number on the new M/T 28" radial?

Are you talking about for the 15 inch wheel? the Front Runner? if so 13 pounds... not bad at all.
The Sportsman "90000020408" weighs in at 22 pounds...

Thanks guys. I hope these are not like the 26x15 version I had on my other car. The SR radials always looked like they were flat. They just didn't have a high load rating. I hope the 28" version is better.

Just to see what a 28" front runner looks like? If so I have a couple but they are not that great. Black car, black tire and black shadows of the wheel well. haha 28" bias ply

86 merc, cool thanks!

the part number 90000020408 is for a 17" rim
the part number 90000020407 is for a 15" rim

hmm, think ill get the radials so I can run on the street with a little more comfort.

Hahaha I didn't know you were on here shawn. I had to order a second set of et street pros to get these crappy wobbling ones swapped out. When I get refunded my money it's gonna buy me 2 of the MT 28/6/17 sr radials. I think it'll look good and keep this boss front end from dragging everywhere.
