Finally a pic and some tire advice pls....

Here's a pic of the ride I have been playing with for a while with lots a appreciative help from this site. '72 shorty w 2 1/2" drop spindles up front and 1 1/2" drop blocks in the rear. Sits on 15x8 rallys and 235-70-15's all around. Blew a tire on the weekend and will have to move ahead on the purchase of some new rubber. Looking for something that will feel a bit more sure around the corners (plan on a sway bar as well) and of course a more aggresive profile. Would prefer same size all around and am leaning towards something around a 275-60-15. Any issues with these up front? Any brand preferences?

Thanks!!
