    Tire conversion question, 345/50 to a standard size.

     



    Looks like the spring will bring the need for tires. The previous owner has a 345/50/15 on the truck, I'm not real sure how to convert it. I do not want to go any wider I know this much. Any help is appreciated.

    If you want to use a tire that will keep your speedo and final drive ratio correct, jack up the back of your T and using a fiberglass or cloth tape, measure the circumference of the tire that's on the car now. Replacement tires should be the same circumference when inflated to run pressure.
