65 C10 stock height with 275/60/15 all the way around?
 
Hi All, my trucks in need of rubber. At the moment it has 235/70/15 on the front 15x8 rims. Rear is 275/60/15 with 15x8 rims..I've always felt the fronts were too small at stock height. ( I don't want to lower the truck) The rears fit well nice look. I am thinking of running 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson sportsman s/t all the way around on my baby moon 15x8 rims. I like the 28" height look.. think it will work. I've seen various post but nobody has mentioned how well that size tire handles on front. I'm more curious if anyone has any pics of these size tires all the way around on a mid 60's truck stock height. Also how they feel they handle in that size. ( Any tire.. doesn't have to be M/T Sportsmans.)

This isn't a pickup, but it is my '66 Suburban with 275/60-15's on 15 x 8 Ralley wheels all the way around. The suspension is stock height except slightly lower in the front due to the added weight of the big block. I have not noticed any handling problems from this size tires on the front.
