Has anyone Tried the Safewide/Boxer wheels on their Barth, specifically on a Breakaway? It sounds interesting, but I have my doubts. Any opinions appreciated.
Sincerely,

I have 'em........

I find the ride to be really great. I have nothing to compare it with because they were on the coach when I bought it. I was a little worried when I needed tires because my wheel size is 16.5 and those tires are getting rare. However, the new ones are 16 inch and they are everywhere.

The certainly look super cool and your regular spare tire will fit, but you can tellyou have them when you turning the steering wheel under 5 mile per hour.

Hi Bill,

I have Dunlop Rover AT 33 x 12.5 x 16.5

I did have Wrangler ATs. The reason I changed is because those tires were aboslutely not avaiable anymore and they had a very agressive tread which gave us a good vibration noise (not feel) and Safewheels now pushes the Rovers and I got a good deal.... These have a great more like a car tread and ride great.
