Tire Question?
Not a tire guy so i need some help.
I have 295 / 50 / 15 on the rear and 235 / 60 /15 on the front. The front tires are getting old and I have two extra tires that are 235 / 75 / 15, will this work or will it look awful? |

Re: Tire Question?
they will work but are a bit taller tire and will raise the front of the truck about 1/2"

Re: Tire Question?
Section width is nominally the same, but depending on brand, there could be close to 2" difference in tread width. And the 75-series run close to 3" taller, so the front will sit ~ 1 1/2" higher.
I wouldn't do it unless you have no other choice.

Re: Tire Question?
swap front to back, so the truck leans a bit foreward
