need new boots
I currently have BF Goodrich Radial TA's on my truck. The back ones are cracked and the front are a little worn. My sizes are Back: 295/60/15 and fronts are 225/60-15. Anybody suggest what to replace them with. 295/60-15's are no longer made. I want to stay with 15 " rims.

Re: need new boots
What size of wheel are you running on the back, Rick? I went through this on my '79, and ended up running pickup 8" rallys on the rear with a 255/70 BFG to get the look I wanted.

Re: need new boots
That's going to be tough. Coker has a 285/60 in their Silvertown series, but they are a little pricy. It's cheaper than new wheels, but still a little steep, I thought. They were shy of $200 each.

Re: need new boots
If you can live with something other than BFG's, mickey thompson makes 295/50/15 passenger car radials.

Re: need new boots
you're running a taller tire in the front?
