What rear street tires are you running?

[chris mccord]

Killed my 20 year old rear 275-50's, so what's everyone running now? It looks like 275-60s are my olny choice these days. Are there any other choices I don't really want to run 28" tall tires.

Sweet I can live with a 27" tire. I wish 50's were still available...other than DR's. I'll have to check width since I like the look of big rear tires. 235's are what I run up front and are not wide enough for the look I like.

What brand, I haven't been able to find that size other than drag radials.

They make 275/50-15 and 295/50-15. Do a google search

I did Google and only found 275-50's in DR's. I will have to check into 295's if I want a 50 series. I don't want DR's thanks to my gravel driveway. I will run them at the track though.

Type it like this 295/50-15. I found coopers and a couple others.

295/50 R 15's on my stock 8" ttype rims. Fit perfect. Slight rub only in hard corners. Filled the wheel well. Cheap too. Bought at pep boys. Futura brand made by Cooper...

Sounds like 295's are the way to go.

I wondered about Nitto's as well. A friend of mine ran the crap out of his on a fox body and hooked pretty well.
