50or60 series tire? 165/15 replacement?

[joemama]

I ordered a set of 15x8 and 15x4 centerlines. I see alot of you are running the 50 series 275s. Was just wondering if that was for a clearance issue compared to the 60 series. The rear rims have a 4inch backspacing. I know the 60s are a little taller but just wanted to get some input from some of you all. Also I usually run 165 15 on the front but I called pep boys who I ususally get them from , and they said they are discontinued. I know other companies still make that size, but wanted to maybe go with a little bigger tire on the front.

I had 275/50/15 and now 275/60/15. I like the look of the 275/60/15 better. I have 165/15s in the front and going with front runners. If your interested e-mail or PM me. I posted in your other post also regarding this.

Hey thanks for the reply on both posts. Put them on both because lot of lookers and no repliers. The tires I have run for years are labled 165 15 with no middle number. I just found out today that Kuhmo makes them. They are 165/80/15. Tire rack has them in stock. Only shipping sucks, but what the heck I need some new shoes. Thanks for the offer but I think Im going to order the new ones.
