Could someone translate this.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

boataddict26 · 06-24-2003, 09:27 PM

I have Firestone Firehawk tires on my truck. They came with my parts truck but are almost brand new. Hardly ever used. They say SS10 on the side. The numbers on the side are,
P275/60R15 1075
Can someone tell me what this translates into in inches? And does any one know if these are decent tires?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks for the info guys. All my friends are always talking about what size tires they have, but on there tires it say the dimensions in inches already. Like 33 10.50's. Easy to read. I never could tell what mine ment.

275/25.4 = 10.83 (275 is the width in mm)
10.83 x .60 (aspect ratio)= 6.498 (side wall height)
6.498 x 2 = 12.996 + 15 = 27.996 inches tall

Are they white letter?

Like these?

I have a set on my factory rallys in the shop. I ran them for awhile. Seem to hold up good.

I have SS20 - same tires just newer
Firehawk history: Originally called SS10, then SS20, then Indy 500) As far as I can tell, there is little difference between SS10s & SS20s. Indy 500s are almost a brand new tire.

They haven't made them for over a year & a half, so if you blow one, you probably won't match (I had a hell of a time finding a new replacement - one blew on me) They are nice tires. I don't like the new version (Indy 500)

boataddict26 · 06-25-2003, 12:32 AM

Thay are identical to those!! I like the way they look on the old chevy's.
Apstguy, do the indy 500's have different tread pattern?

I liked Mike's truck like that. It was perfect then, with the rally wheels and the Dumbo ears. Mine will look like that soon, but blue...
