8x16 vs 7.5x16

I see some 7.5x16 ag tires for sale at a good price. My b7100 has 8x16 tires on it now. Will 7.5's be bad for the 4wd?

I would stick with the OEM size. You may run the risk of changing ratios for the 4wd, but I doubt its enough to be concerned about. What will happen is decreased traction in muddy situations. I realize that size can be hard to come by. Check out Miller Tire. I believe they have a website and will send you a free catalog.

What tires? what prices? What's the RC of both? what tires on the front? Tube or radial?

These are Firestones and are mounted for 200 for the pair. Its a great deal but I'm running four tires on the rear. So after all that its a no go anyway.
