Tire Question?

[1968GCPD]

Not a tire guy so i need some help.

I have 295 / 50 / 15 on the rear and 235 / 60 /15 on the front.

The front tires are getting old and I have two extra tires that are 235 / 75 / 15, will this work or will it look awful?

the sidewall will be disproportionaly high but it will work

they will work but are a bit taller tire and will raise the front of the truck about 1/2"

Section width is nominally the same, but depending on brand, there could be close to 2" difference in tread width. And the 75-series run close to 3" taller, so the front will sit ~ 1 1/2" higher.

I wouldn't do it unless you have no other choice.

swap front to back, so the truck leans a bit foreward

Yeah, I think I am going to hold off until I can find a deal on a pair of 255 / 60 / 15 to go with the back 295 / 50 /15 wide tires in the rear.

Thanks to everyone!
