I would like to go with 15 inch, but not too sure about how it would look and ride. Does anyone have this set-up? Please show pics if you can. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | my 58 with 15" 'car' radials and with 15" truck radials, rides and handles fine, could have had 15's or 16's originally Bill

Thx for the info. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | I got some wonderful tires at les schwab. They aren't radials but they have the perfect appearance. They may not have as much of an improvement in ride/handling as radials, but it IS a lot better. You have to ask them at the counter, they have no pictures of them, and they have to special order them in. I mean they have the PERFECT look, so much so that when they came in I went down to see if I liked them, the fella knew they were going on something unique. He was quite envious when I brought the truck down....somewhere on here is pictures of them, I will try and post them. They are 7.00-15, and say "POWER KING" on the side. It will cost $200 per tire mounted and balanced. give or take.
