The trouble with the current T/As is the brown lettering on them.

Haven't bought a set of BFG's in a while...did the quality go south and should I be mounting white letter in?

I have 235-60-15 on the front and 275-60-15 on the back. on the factory 15x7 rims, no issues with rubbing on the inner lip.

Car Nutt- how do the 275s fit on the back?.  My car came with L60s on the back which I believe to be the same as 275s and they sort of bulge at the sidewalls on the OEM 7" Rallye wheels and definitely wore out in the center faster than on the edges indicated they they "rounded" on 7" rims.  I wanted to replace them with the 275s to get as much rubber on the ground as I can without going to a larger rim  but everything I've read says that 255 is the largest I should go with a 7" rim and if I want to run 275s I should go to an 8" rim.  You thoughts please and anybody else than wants to chime it.

The quality went South when they were engineered.   :deadhorse:

Brand new, I hydroplaned going slow on a Mountain road and almost went off a cliff.

Never will use them again.

I currently have 235-60R15 BFG's, but for the next set,  I will definitely get the Mickey Thompson Sportsmant SR's 26x8.00 or 26x10.00 tires:
