My ‘50 3600 came from the factory with 15” wheels, and that’s what I replaced them with… except the new rims are 15x6
I had 215/75R15’s on my truck and I hated the way they looked and the ride I got with them. Diamond Back Auburn steel belted radials 8.20x15 & 7.10x 15 are a great tire for these trucks, and they look the part, too.
These tires look like the original bias ply truck tire with squared edge tread and pie crust style edging. Truck looks and rides great now. Keep the tires pressure below 34 psi, and the ride is perfect.
I can’t say enough good things about them… and they balanced out with very little weight on all four wheels…unlike the modern style 215’s, which required gobs of weights. They’ve got black wall and wide white walls.
