tire size?!

so i have a set 15x8 wheels on my truck but im running 31x10.5 r15 tires on it. I dont want to run the a/t tire on there and am looking for a good classic styled road/street tire. just want a decent amount of meat for that classic look but nothing too big. tire size suggestions? nothing crazy priced and something i can snag for under 100$ a tire

Re: tire size?!

You might shop for tire size 265/75/15. Very similar size but you might be able to find a street type tread. If you don't need the 30-31" height, 275/60/15 is a good look on an 8" rim.

Re: tire size?!

I for sure don't want anywhere near the height on my current tires. I want to go for the muscle truck look more so

Re: tire size?!

Somebody was talking about 255/70r15's on their truck. It sounds like a good size for a street truck.

255/70-15's = 29" tall & work well on 8" wheels.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
