What tires are you running?

Well I am buying tires this weekend. I am going for a set of 275-60-15 Bfg radial ta. Anything else good?? Looking for something fairly tall and wide that looks attractive. Like, white letters and stuff. These seem pretty cheap, so far I have found some for $726. Watcha got?

Right not it has 295-50-15, but looks goofy to me. Doing the change for higher side wall, little skinnier and the tires on it are dry rotted.

Re: What tires are you running?

These are pretty great I guess, the rears are 30 years old and dry rotted as it gets. I've road the back roads, slowly, for about 200 miles with them. Just waiting to hear a BOOOM.

Re: What tires are you running?

You're right haha I am not moving the truck again until I get the new tires. Also, the width is a little much. The rear isn't really comparable, old school bfg. But the front, like the ones we are going to, is actually almost to wide. When you walk up to it in person, and look down, the tire looks like its just going to buckle and is way to low on pressure. When, its up to proper pressure. Just, to wide for the wheel imo.

Re: What tires are you running?

That's awesome! Mine was my grandmother's for awhile, then mid 80s my father got it. Now, mine, after sitting 16 years. The revival has been a interesting ride, but very worth it!
