help me choose tire for 15x10 wheels
I have a set of prostars to put on the back end of my truck. Only issue Im having is figuring out what size to order.
I was looking at some 255/70/15a. Which are roughly 29" tall. However it says a max rim size of I thing 8.5" I have 275/60/15 on the back now. But I don't know if it will be the look I'm going for I'd like to have a wide tread width. Tall sidewall and roughly 29-30" tall tire!! Please help! I'm plan on doing my shopping online. I found some hoosier quick time drag radicals which look nice but I don't want to spend so much on tires |

Look at 295/65r15 or 315/60r15 drag radials. Not many tires like you want that aren't drag radials

275/60's are the closest you're going to get to 29-30" in a readily available radial (not a drag radial). Hoosier also makes a Pro Street radial.

Thanks for the sizes. I'll look them up. Too bad bfg still don't make 295 and 315 sizes. I've looked at the hoosier pro street radials. May get them but looking into other options

BFGs all the way, They are more expensive at first but will out last anything else on the road. They are the quietest, longest lasting quality tire you can buy. Two pic's: 1978 Siverado on 15X10 wheel and 35X12.50X10 BFG K2 1971 Blazer on 17X9 wheel and 38X14.50X17 BFG K2 Posted via Mobile Device |
