Small tires ???

I have a 78 c15 it's got 15 inch steels rims with 255/60r15s on people say there too small of a tire. When I bought the truck that's the size it came with. I replaced all four 6 months ago so that's what size I got thinking they were original. But now after all the people saying they look small on the truck it really has me thinking..

Re: Small tires ???

If you lowered the truck they look right, but 255/70/15's look better.

I have a C20 with 265/70/16, and the tires look just about right.

Is your truck dropped? I run 235/60-15's on a 15x8 wheel on the front of my '77 Suburban, with a 4.5" front drop, they look great (in my opinion). :D

Re: Small tires ???

I think they do look a little small at stock height, it needs atleast a 2/4 drop.
