I've searched to no avail so I'm asking here. I have a 78 2wd that I'm building. I've been to several shows here lately looking at tire size combinations on these trucks. I'm going back lowered about 2", no more. I like the 275-60-15 size the best of all the sizes I've seen. The 295-50-15 looks too short for my liking. My questions is: Is there a tire that's a little wider than the 275-60-15 without going too tall? I don't want mud tires either. Using online tire comparison calculators I like the sizes of 285-60-16, 295-55-16, but there is no such size that I can find without going with a mudder. I don't mind going with a 16" wheel since I don't have wheels yet, but even the 16's don't have the width (around 11-11.5") without going too tall. I'm looking for a tread width of 11-11.5 and a height of around 28-29". It looks like Hoosier or Mickey Thompson is the only tire larger than the 275-60-15. I know if the sizes aren't coming up they don't exist but I thought I'd ask anyhow. Thanks.
Here's an update that some of you may already know: I just found that Coker Tire is the absolute only place that has these two sizes, they are BF Goodrich: 285-70-15, and 275-65-16. They are hard to find on their website but they're there.
