Is there any other options for tires. I looked at the Mickey Thompson, and Hooser. I am looking for 29 to 30 inch tall tires, about 12 inch wide, ( thread, not counting bulge on side of tire ) 15 inch wheel. All I come up with is the two brands I already named off

What kind of tire? Radial street type tread or off road mud type or drag radial?

I always use Michelin's.

Street drag tire, like the mickey thompson sportsmans or sportsman pro. Could be either radial or bias.

Have you checked out BF Goodrich's Drag Radial line?

Mike,
What are you planning on running on your truck? Right now it looks like I am going to do a mini tub, and run with Mickey Thompson sportmans pro, 29x15.5x15. I really didn't want to do a mini tub, but I also don't want to spin the tires for a 1/4 mile either.

Oops, sorry. Didn't read your first post right. I'd go with MT's, but you might wanna check out those BFG's like miket suggested.

Sam,

As of today I have no plans for tub/mini tub. I would like to get 325/50 drag radials on the rear. According to BFG's website they have the same sidewall/height as the 275/60's which will stay on the front.

What may change all of this is whether I lower the truck.....which I would like to do. If thats the case then I would probably go with a 50 series on the front and match the height/sidewall with a wide BFG drag radial for the rear.

I wish BFG still made the euro T/A in 305/325 sizes for 15" wheels.
