tire size advice
i have 2 brand new tiger paw 275 60 15s and my wheels are 15 x 10 with 4in backspacing. i was thinking of putting the 275/60s on the front and buying 2 295/50s for the back. what do you guys think? i have to buy 2 tiger paws anyway or 4 tires of another brand.
later on i plan to pick up some 17 or 18in wheels i still like the 15s with white letters. besides i already have the 15s and they just need polishing to look great.

Re: tire size advice
I think the 295/50 is shorter than the 275/60. You might want to check that.

Re: tire size advice
I think you should just go with 275/60's all around, they look great on 8 & 10 inch wheels.

Re: tire size advice
yeah i forgot about looking at the diamameter i am sticking with 275/60s i have a local dealer that gets them for me at cost. i was wanting the wider tires on the back but that was just a thought.
i have a set of 15x14wide that have some hoosier drag slicks on them i can throw on to go play and burn a tire from time to time.
