First off, Welcome to Stovebolt. wave

Are these the White Wall tires you're considering? The tech details list them as 27.9" tall, which seems to be about 1" shorter than your current "235/75R15" tires, which isn't significant usually. But with our trucks (I have a '51 3100 myself), IMHO taller is better when it comes to speed,mileage and ease of steering. The shorter tire means your engine/drivetrain must work a little harder to get the same speed you've been used to, increasing wear and tear plus reducing gas mileage.

Just me, but if I was going to drop that kind of cash for new tires, I'd go for the 820R15, which is noted to be 29.2" tall (just about .3" taller than your current tire.

Either one sticks with the original style tires, but if your considering more than just looks, I'd go with the taller ones.
