I have a 1972 Chevy blazer and just mounted some used tires on what I believe to be original 15x7 steel rims. I went with 32x11.5x15 inch tires to see what they would look like on my stock suspension. I like the look but Hate the Performance at high speeds. My blazer starts to feel very unsteady at speeds over 55mph in the steering, Just wondering if anyone has encountered this problem. I have been told by a few tire dealers that the tires are to wide for my rims and thats why it feels scary at high speeds.
What were the factory tire/ wheel sizes? and do any of you have any recomendations.
