    Hey all the radial whites I have on my 50 are sized 225/75/R15 im wondering how does that transfer to the firestone and other brands? Do i just look for one that is for a 15 in rim? Im wondering because I want to run wide whites and I dont understand the sizing differences between a 670-15 and 540-15 or etc.


    These are the tires im looking at now?

    Do they work with my rims since they are for a sized 15 and how are bias plys? Ive heard mixed things.

    A 15" rim is the same for both bias-ply and radial and having both radial & bias ply tires on two different cars there is a difference but I enjoy the difference in handling,bias plys will follow the crowm in the road. HRP

    Just make sure your rims are for tubeless tires, some of the older rims were not made that way...!!!
