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 !


Cheers!

My van has 295-50-15 on the rear and 265-50-15 on the front. 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.

Yea....I have 10's on the back and 8's on the front and I have 295-50-15 in rear and 265-50-15 in front and its a great stance and look but so far I have only found 1 brand in the 265 and they are back ordered until mid-July. 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.

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

Pete; 225/50R15 will fit nicely on that size rim. I was running those on my '74 Challenger stock Rally wheels. I believe the rims where 15" X 7". Man did they look good!!!
