What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

hey guys, im trying to pick out some nice tires to put on my truck this year.

im looking for good wet/dry traction, but it doesn't have to be any good in the snow, as i dont drive my rig in the snow..

Everywhere i look, i cant seem to find many tires that will fit a 10" wide rim that is 15" tall..

I dont want something much taller then 28 inches or so..

so let me know what you guys have, weather your happy, and what make/model they are.

and pictures help too!

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

I am running 15x8 wheels with 275/60x15. That tire is also great on 10" wheels.

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

thanks for your input so far, but what about 10" wide rims?

also, if anyone has a picture of a truck with 50 aspect ratio (---/50r15) id like to see what they look like

...sorry, in not into the metric system, so all these mm are throwing me for a loop

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

I'm currently running a 275/60/15 rear 255/60/15 steer all on 8" rims. The 275/60/15's work great on 10" rims and they're about 28" tall.

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

Back in the day when I had 15 in rims I had BFG Radial T/As too (2 sets actually)

I ran 295/50/15 on my 15x10 wheels the second time around (275/60/15 first set)

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?

15x8 Rally wheels and 275/60-15 BFG Radial T/A's on all 4 corners. I think they are roughly 28" tall. No rubbing or other problems. I need to move my tank to the rear though as even with an Eaton posi I still can't nail it from a start or anything under about 15-20mph, without lighting up the rears. I'm planning on upgrading to 10" wheels on the rears, with a larger (and possibly slightly taller) tire. Someday something like 17x8/18x10 stagger.
