I am replacing the 6.70-15 tires on the original rims I had powder coated on my 56 Chevy 3100 stepside truck. It has the original 235 engine and the original 3.90:1 rear end. I replaced the transmission with a t5 5 speed #1352-145 from a 85-86 S10 ¹st gear is 3.76 and 5th gear is 0.72. There is no front end modifications i have the original straight axel.

What tires should I run for doing light freeway driving with the occasional trip and mostly in town putting around. I want to be kind with the rpm's and do not want to have problems with the wheel wells.

So what are your thoughts? For nows I am looking for a size that fits and works ok on that rim. Later i plan to put on a set of thick white walls but want to try a cheaper tire first before I invest in the cokers.

Thanks
