I do like the looks of that Carlisle tire... haven't had the chance to try a set yet but I hear good things about them!
Agree with jaynjeep.
Wide tires look nice......they take more weight (pounds per square inch foot path) to make up traction loss. You should go to a wider rims than 7 inch. Yes a 7 inch will work on a 10.50 tire. Tire foot print from a 10.50 could be more rounded on 7 inch wide rim.
