60's on the front - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 07-30-2002, 11:28 AM

I'm ready to add new tires and was wondering if 60 series on the front is just to much tire? The tire guy recommended 275-60-r15's all around for my 8" anson sprint slots. Anyone running this size or have an opinion on front tire size for 72 1/2 2wd?
or pics?

I have a set of Big O Big foot XT's 31 x 10.5 on a set of eagle 15x9 rims on my 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive.

I run 255/60 on 15x8 ralleys on the front and 255/70 on 15x8 ralleys on the back it looks right for my taste. I like alittle taller tire on the back it gives it a nice rake.

I have 275-60-r15's on all four corners with no problems

Same here got 275/60/15's all around on 8 x 15 Rallys. Looks good in the wheel well and drives fine.

I ran all 60 series BFG Radial T/A's on my 80 Grand Prix LJ. It was a smooth ride and the handling was excellent

I started out with 255/60/15 then went to 275/60/15 with no problems with either one but my case it made my speedo off 10mph so I ended up replacing the speedo gear in tranny.BTW hope you have power steering with these tires cause my arms got tired when you have to go shopping from store to store all day

I have 275/60's all the way around. They clear just fine. They can be a little noisy. I really like the way they look, and being all the same size they can be rotated.
