So it's getting to that point in my build where i am going to have to buy tires and i am at a crossroads and i need some help.
My 86 EB has a rebuilt engine, AOD, and the factory 3.55 gearing, new stock height springs all around. I don't plan on hot rodding, and i don't really plan on doing any real off roading with this thing, so i don't need mud tires. I want a relatively quiet and smooth ride (as can be expected out of a 35 year old super short wheel base truck).
I am going to use the factory 15x8 steel wheels with the redline trim rings and chrome center caps.
Looking for some nice looking, AT tires. Found these at walmart...
To me thats tough to beat, and even has the nice outline letters like came on it when it was new. Here is where i am open to suggestion though, should i stick with the factory size or bump up to a 32 x 11.5 r15 ? This thing already don't have a lot of "zip" to it, will the 32" tires be that noticable? Anything else i need to be considering?
