    BF Goodrich TA radials used to have very good sizing and tire height selections, have you tried them????

    Look on the Tire Rack web site - they list height, tread width, cross section, revs per mile: http://www.tirerack.com/

    Here is a Pirelli: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.j...e1=yes&place=1

    Please, DON'T buy Coker unless you are into restoration and need an exact copy

    I agree with Dave. T/A's have the best selection out there I've ever seen in the 13 to 16 inch rim size. They do have those raised white letters though. Many folks blacken those and put 'em on the inside.

    Speaking of raised white letters, it seems like us 70's era generation rodders like 'em but the 50's, 60's and 80's era folks not so much?

    BF Goodrich 285/70R-15.

    On 10" wheels.

    Tires are 30 1/2" tall.

    Wider than you want, but gives an idea of what a taller tire looks like.

    Some days I think they're ok, other days I think they're too big....

    Thanks.

    Here's a close-up of a very familiar wheel along with a fairly familiar hubcap.

    Not seen together too often....

    I run BFG P285/70R-15's on my deuce. I like the size. And I run only 20 lbs of air in them because of how light the rear end its (25 lbs. in the fronts). But if I was to do it over again, I think I would consider 17 inch rims on the rear keep the 15's on the front. I don't like big rims, but 17's would fill out a tall tire a little better.
