Lol yeah that happened to me in spring it was raining and i gave it just a little to much gas and it did a 360 in the middle of the road and i went into the ditch almost hitting a big salvage yard sign, ever since then i never do stuff like that in the rain.

and thanks alot highper for the info


SCOTI- Yeah I used to have 275 60s and got alot better traction than these and i found the tires brand new on craigslist for $50 and the guy typed the size wrong and i didnt know until i was at his and i thought i might as well buy them it was to good of a offer to pass up.

And thanks alot to everybody else for helping me out

Do you still have your old 275/60/15's?

I need to look at a set of them to see if I like them better than my 295/50's I thought the 295's were going to be taller when I ordered them.

[allen123]

Yeah I still have them
Here's one of them

[highperf4x4]

You still have them on a vehicle then? Can you get a side pic so I can gauge how tall they look?

And btw, did you jack up the rear end of your truck and spin one wheel to see which direction the other one spins? If it's a posi they should spin the same direction.

[allen123]

Oh I though you were wanting to buy my old ones lol, but yeah I have some pics from the side
And yeah I had it on the jack today and was messing with my friend when he was trying to put my lug nuts back on so i started spinning the other side and yes the other side spins the same way. So do you think I just have a worn out posi?

Here are my current tires, they are 295's


And here's the 275's

[highperf4x4]

Yeah if both tires spun the same direction it should be a posi. So it probably is weak if it's only spinning one tire.

Those 275/60's don't look much taller than the 295/50's do. I'm trying to find the tallest and widest tire I can run on my 15x10's without going to a drag radial or something like that.

[allen123]

Oh I see I don't know much about tires but I can ask the two brothers that were at the meet, Their family used to own a tire shop and they know alot of tires

[highperf4x4]

That would be cool.

Thx for the tip!

[SCOTI]

They're whitewall BFG Radial T/A's. Just run them black wall out if whitewalls aren't your thing. It is a pretty tall tire @ about 30.75".
