Any suggestions? Thanks | | | Re: 265/50/R15 | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3,473 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3,473 Likes: 1 | Yep That's what I run on my front. I run Hercules H something 4000's. I run 265-50-15 on front and 295-50 -15's on the rear. I also know that Cooper Cobra makes my sizes also. So THERE YOU GO !

They sat for 10 years and are dry rotted so I am looking to replace them. I like the stance and look of these size. The tires on there now are BF Goodrich T/A but they don't make the 265's anymore. I can't find them in Cooper either (even tried them directly). The ONLY brand I can find that offers the 265-50-15 is Hankook but they are back ordered until July!!!! I didn't see any 265-50-15's on Hercules website but I will call them tomorrow. Thanks. | | | Re: 265/50/R15 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 | I was wondering what to run on my front 8" wheels..being I'm going with 295-50-15 with 10's on the rear.....but you guys say there hard to come by ? 265-50-15 sound perfect to me.

I might do some other research and look at width and diameter to try to match the stance. I am looking to replace all 4 tires. | | | Re: 265/50/R15 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,105 Likes: 1 old hand | old hand Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,105 Likes: 1 | What about 275/50R15 BF Goodrich make them. At least their site says so. Not much of a difference I believe about 3/8". Here are specs of the two sizes. You be the judge.
265/50-15 d=25.43 w=5.22
275/50-15 d=25.83 w=5.41

It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all! | | | Re: 265/50/R15 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 | Wonder if a 225-50-15 would fit on a 8" rim......tread width 7.7 and 23.9 tall ?

I was running those on my '74 Challenger stock Rally wheels. I believe the rims where 15" X 7". Man did they look good!!!
