I would run a 275-60-15. The rallies and drop with make this burb look great!

I am running 235/70's front and 255/70's rear on 15x8.5 wide slots.

5" drop in the rear and 4" drop in the front.

Re: tire size for dropped burb

This thread is a little dated, but I have a 5.5"F/6.0"R drop on mine with 30x9.50-15 (15x7 wheels) and 31x10.50-15 (15x8 wheels) and it fits and looks pretty good. When you go with LT size tires, you can generally find something rated for a little bit heavier vehicle, like a Burb. My tires are Falken Ziex that I got at a ridiculously good price from Summit Racing.
