Re: tires size

I have 275/60/15 on mine. When I get new tires I will go 255/60 on the front 275/60 on the back.

255/70/15 is 255 milimeters wide,sidewall height is 70% of 255 mm x 2 plus the 15" for wheel.That is the process for getting tire sizes.When President Carter was trying to push the metric system through I should have paid attention.{4 th grade}.

Re: tires size

8x15 Rally's W/275/60 BFGoodrich TA's all around. 4" drop springs rear and 2-1/2" drop spindles with 1/2 radius cut off stock springs for a total of 3-1/2" drop up front. With the stronger stock springs there is no rubbing or contact with the inner fenders in bumps or turns.
