The tires that came with the rims I bought for the Blazer about a year ago are pretty much done now.
This is on my 82 C10 Blazer (Full size 2wd in case you don't know what C10 means)... I use it to tow a 12' trailer daily. The rims are 15x8" truck rally wheels. The current tires are 255/70/15 Cooper Cobras. I do like that size and how they fit the wheels, but I want a better quality tire this time around - I really like Michelin LTX MS or MS2, which don't come in that size.
Would a 235/75/15 look stupid on a 8" wheel? Anyone have pics of that size combo? The 235/75 has a 7.3" tread width (where the 255/70 has about 8.5") and is 28.9" tall (almost the same as the 255/70).
I don't mind a slightly narrower tire if it won't look bad, but I really want good quality tires for longevity, a smooth ride, towing, and wet and dry traction.
Opinions are welcome!
-edit- I know a 31x10.50 would probably look good on the truck (even though it's a 2wd) and fit nicely on the wheels, but with 3.08 gears AND an overdrive in a vehicle that rarely sees 70mph - that's too tall.
