Re: 22nd Series Custom 8 890×15 tires

Another way to tell is if it'll even fit on the OEM rims. I think they're 6", and that's a 9" tread width.
It's common for mounting issues when you convert from bias to radials. The profile is much different. Bias are closer to "75"s aspect ratio. So you have to know the whole tire size to get an idea.
The conversion is simple but people tend to want to put wider tires on than will fit, and tire places are more than happy to sell them. When I bought some 8 x 15 eqiv radial WWs from Coker they were pushing for 235s, but I opted for the closer 215, and they would not clear in rear on the Cad. You can put a cardboard or suitable tarp on the ground and put tire/rim upside down, then roll up over the drum from below and there's better clearance that way. You'll only mount them deflated once.
