Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Take a look at Radman's truck in this post
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=radman Or there is always the FAQ Wheel/Tire Fitment picture thread to look at. I think Radman has posted there as well with his red shortbox and BIG back tires with lots of sidewall. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=143835

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Who makes that tire size 285/70-15 ??? BFG Does not have them listed on their site, is this a discontuined size?
For reference sake a 285/70-15 is 30.7" diameter and a 305/50-15 is 27" in diameter. |

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
It's discontinued, but you can buy them from Coker in a wide white wall. Price is $208 each. I talked to one of the guys at Coker and he says they are trying to get BFG to make the standard tire again. I found a couple on craigslist, but got lucky.

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Roughedup72, if you look in the latest issue of Hot Rod magizine, there is an add for engine sludge... you can rip that add out, put it on the dash of the red one, and you'll have plenty of money for the truck! (now you gotta go and get the magizine to figure what the heck I'm talkin about)

Longhornman, WTH. Ihappen to love my plastic muscle car. It gets me where I'm going and rather quickly if I decide to. So just cut through the crap and let me know what the add said.

Yeah, just one side, but that's about double what BFG sold the others for.

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Thanks uncle,
I just bought a set of 15x10 factory wheels with 4.5" bs. What i'm looking for is a 30" +/- .5" tire that's not a drag radial. Seems that 15" tires are limited in size and going the way of the dinosour sux.....

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Back on topic here, I think the truck you're thinking about is Radman's truck. I don't have a pic on my pc here at work. Try a search or pm Radman. He has a 67 swb with the 285's on the back.

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
Aha! Found them here...
Before anyone asks - size 11 boots for reference, and if you need a mountain bike - $35 for the red one in the background. DLB Last edited by Orange; 04-16-2007 at 04:44 PM. |

Re: 285/70/15 Bfg
I checked at work and they did discontinue this size.If iI would of known this earlier I would of bought all I could of. This is not a bad thing though, because when we discontinue a size it goes on the discontinued tire list for sale and this size will be at a great price. I will keep an eye on the list and if they come up I will buy all of them and pass the savings on.
