tire size advise

i gota 70 c10 2/4 drop stock rallies im running 235/75/15 liberator at. i didnt choose them it came with them now i wanna change size im thinking about either 235/70/15 or 275/60/15 the 275 is about $15-20 more a tire but i have major traction issues now yall think that the extra inch in width would be worth the price for the 275 or just getting a good tire would be best. looking at indy 500 and bfgs both look nice

Re: tire size advise

I like my BFG's.They are 235/70-15 front and 255/70-15 on rallies with a 2 1/2-4 drop.They don't rub and I could probably go a bit wider.I'm not really sure about the fronts,it's been too cold here to finish the paint on my inner fenders and get them in.

Re: tire size advise

I'm running 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear with a 3.5/5 drop. The 275/60 is alot wider than a 235, so traction would improve. It's also and inch shorter than your current 235/75/15. If you like the tall tire that fills the fenders up, the 255/70/15 like PanelDeland mentioned would work better.

Here's a pic of mine.
