Tire size

[dcurtis]

What is the closest I can get to a 275 50 15? I really want that size but don't really need a drag radial, and that's all that is out there, , I may just go ahead and get the 275-50 nitto 555r's, I just don't really plan on my car being ran down the strip enough to justify buying drag tires, if I go ahead and get them, are they good for every day driving? that's my main concern, how long do they last on street driven stangs? I'll probably go ahead and just get the nitto's, just because I really want that tire size.

most people use the nitto's for the street they are not as good at the track

My 88 had 265 50 /15s on it when i bought it, but they are like Futuras or something i think. Pepboys Specials!

The Nittos run small!

Does anyone have a picture of a 265-50-15 on an 8 inch wheel?? I want the 275 because the pics I have seen of 275-50's on an 8 inch wheel with 5.5 bs look good to me, I feel like if I run a 265-50 on the 5.5 wheel it may sit a little farther in the wheel well and not look as good, unless it will fit with a 4.5 bs wheel and not rub the fender lip?

I have 275 50 r 15's on my car. I have BFG radial T/A's I'm pretty sure that is the size. They work really well in the dry and okish in the wet depending on what kinda power you are pushing.

Actually after looking online I may have 275/60 r 15's. Sorry bout that.
