What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?
 
hey guys, im trying to pick out some nice tires to put on my truck this year.

im looking for good wet/dry traction, but it doesn't have to be any good in the snow, as i dont drive my rig in the snow..

Everywhere i look, i cant seem to find many tires that will fit a 10" wide rim that is 15" tall..

I dont want something much taller then 28 inches or so..

so let me know what you guys have, weather your happy, and what make/model they are.

and pictures help too! :metal:

My 10-inch wide wheels are running Radial T/A's, 275-60R15.....on the back. 8-inch wide wheels up front are running the same brand tire, 245-60R15.

I'm currently running a 275/60/15 rear 255/60/15 steer all on 8" rims. The 275/60/15's work great on 10" rims and they're about 28" tall.

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?
 
Back in the day when I had 15 in rims I had BFG Radial T/As too (2 sets actually)

I ran 295/50/15 on my 15x10 wheels the second time around (275/60/15 first set)

68GMCCustom 03-27-2009 02:00 PM

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?
 
15x8 Rally wheels and 275/60-15 BFG Radial T/A's on all 4 corners. I think they are roughly 28" tall. No rubbing or other problems. I need to move my tank to the rear though as even with an Eaton posi I still can't nail it from a start or anything under about 15-20mph, without lighting up the rears. I'm planning on upgrading to 10" wheels on the rears, with a larger (and possibly slightly taller) tire. Someday something like 17x8/18x10 stagger.

15x7 rallies all around.

BFG Radial TA's. Blackwall out.

Front--245/60R15

Back--275/60R15

I know the specs...the 275/60's are 7.5"-9.5" wide rims. My rims are 7" wide. Have had no problems. Most tire guys will tell ya that a half inch will not make a difference.

Hope this helps.

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?
 
From 1987-1994, I rolled BF Goodrich 275/60/15s on 10 inch wide wheels on my trucks.

I don't know how many sets of tires I wore out, but it was a few. They work fine.

Re: What Tires do you have on your 15" rims?
 
heres 295-50-15 on a 10 inch wide wheel. Best choicein my opinion, unless your truck is not lowered then I think it would be way to short of tire.
