Default Bigger tire

I went with the Hoosier tires because it was the biggest tire for the 10 inch rim when I was looking for tires. It had a 13.5 inch section width and 11 inches on the ground. I had to stretch the wheelwells and could run a taller tire but the clearance in the width was the problem. The limiting factor was the diameter and the smallest section width with the tallest tire is what you want. Phoenix made a 31 inch tall tire but the Hoosier was a 29.5 x 10.5W tire that was 30.7 tall. The wheel well was stretched 4 inches so a taller tire was no problem. I couldn't get a wider tire on it. I had a little over an inch clearance on each side of the tire and ran 6.5 psi.
