Front tire ideas
I bought new rear tires because my old ones mysteriously exploded one night (they were only about 20 years old). I put 295/50/15's on the back and I think i'll go ahead and put tires on the front so I don't end up with a mis matched set. I can't decide between 265 275 and a 295 on the front. Whats everybody's opinions and pictures would help.
Thanks!

How about 245's??? That would look pretty aggressive! Maybe too much difference tho???

I run 255/60/15 front and 275/60/15 rear, but that's what came with the truck. I think I might go to 255/60 front and 285/60 rear, just to be a little more aggressive. And that is one badass truck mooneyes.

What size rims on the front? 275's are good on 8½-9" rims, 10" I would use 295's.

I dont have any pics yet because I am ashamed about my stock steel wheels but I just recently got 275/60R15's for the rear & 255/60R15's for the front all in BFG radial TA's. Im not sure with my drop in altitude that anything wider will fit as the inner wheel tubs are pretty close. they seem to bite good so far & have a nice smooth quiet ride. (I got them for the best price available from Walmart)[ they even beet the price from our wholesale distributer]
