What is the best size of tire?

Post by 68shortbedinmo »

Hello
I have a 68 shortbed and I have done a half hanger flip in the rear and cut one coil in the front and I have some 15"x7" wheels for the front and 15"x8 1/2" for the rear. I was wondering what would be the best tires to put on them? I don't think I want too tall of a sidewall but I definatley don't want a rubber band either thinking maybe 60 series ? Any suggestions or pictures of your setup would be appreciated.
Thanks
