what size Tires

[daddysgirl]

Can any one tell of what the appropriate size tires are for my truck? all 4 are dry rotted and one was flat by the time i got home:

What is your truck, and what size wheels does it have?
I put 235 85 16s on my 68 Camper Special. Good size to go with, it would be good in in a 15" also. Mine are BF Goodrich.

it has 235 75r15 On it right now and from what tire dealers are telling me thats a hard size to find. what can i change the size to without changing the wheels? i found some tires that were new at wal mart for 75 ea but my goodness. i called 3 places today and was only able to find one used tire so i got it to replace the flat one

that is really weird that the dealers said that 235/75/15 are a hard size to find. that is the size that i had on mine till i ugraded to the 31x 10.50 15

i Got to looking and the back tires are 30x10.50r15 and the front are the 235s so which size is the right one and which will be easier on my wallet?

I ran 235's on mine for years. It is a good size. I did some swapping and ended up with a nice set of 31-10.50-15's and it made the truck ride all that much better. Seemed to really smooth out the pot holes. I like the looks also

Check craigslist if you're looking at used tires, you can sometimes find good deals there

In all honesty pretty much all 15" tires are getting hard to find decent ones, it is not quite as bad as 13" and 14", but...

What wheels you have (as well as the model) come into play as well, it probably came with bias ply tires that were the equivalent or an 80 series so what you have to do if using stock wheels is find one close to the same rolling diameter without being too wide to fit the wheel.
