Running a set of Weld Drag-Lites.

I *think* I have a 15x10 on the rear, and a 15x6, maybe 15x8 on the front. Tires I'm running right now are 265/50-15 on the rear, and 225/60-15 on the front. Only thing close to rubbing on the rear is one of the e-brake cables, but I can move that.

So far, I've looked through half the tires at Discount Tire online (there's one local), and I've found BFG Radial T/A's in the sizes I need. Probably better off with a 295, and it's cheaper!

275 50 15 101S RWL $125
295 50 15 105S RWL $118
225 60 15 95S RWL $75


Anyone else to look at for a wide 15" tire? Even Bridgestone & Goodyear don't have any! (that I saw).  Let me clarify, I've found plenty of 225/60-15, but the bigger size, not so much.

Are you looking for a Steet Radial?
Find out how wide your rim is first.

T/A's are the ultimate classic tire, aside from that they completely suck ass for anything else..

I'm not looking for anything special at all, it's just a driver.  Cheap is good.  I'll see if I can get a semi-accurate measurement, shouldn't be too hard, it's only going to be 6, 8, or 10.

You got a Pep brothers around you?? Futuras are pretty decent tire, and you can get some decent 60 ft's out of them.
