Re: Tires

I just went to Cooper Tire's web site, and used their tire selector. A 235/75r15, is 28.9" tall. I did not look to see if you can get it blackwall only, but you could always turn it white in. I am not a fan of the bias ply tires, unless you are building a garage/trailer queen. They ride bad, make the truck steer hard, and do not last like radial tire. The comment I get from some of my old car customers when we switch from bias to radial is the car feels like it has power steering. The radials are also less likely to flat spot. All of us old guys can remember when we left our houses back in the day --- - - - thump, thump, thump for a couple of miles before that nylon,rayon,polyester tire would round out.

As far as a ply rating, a 4 ply rated tire would be fine, as long as you are not going to carry heavy loads, and then a 6 ply
