who remembers Armstrong tires?

Anyone remember Armstrong tires? i was going through pics of my old 88 and it had a set of old Armstrong 33x12.5x15s on it. they were extrememly fdryrotted but measured to about 34" and were like 10 or 12 ply or something IIRC. the cleaned well had a slight hum but very slight overall my favorite tire for multiuse. i like my coopers too but theyre just not the same and suck if theres anything on the ground. so question is i know the cepek F-CII is supposedly the copy cat but i also know they rmble more and have greater wear as well as a 33x12.5x15 is smaller than a 33. and id be looking at a 16' rim which is still 32.8 not 33.4-34'. so anyone know of anything similar that will measure to a true 33 or slightly larger?

Could you run the 35x12.50 fc2?

yea i could, my logic isnt quit logical though. im geared for a 33 but id like a true 33 or between a 33 and 35.

also i know the fcII dont last as long and hum alot more, and i dont know how the do in snow, yes its the same pattern but theres obviously some differences.

I do! I had a set on a CJ5. They had an "A" as side biters for the tread. Always assumed that the fun country II was the original and that the Armstrong was the copy cat.

cepek bought out armstrongs design for them, the fun countrys are a ton noisier the armstrongs were just perfect in every way.
