Title: Factory stock calls for 225/75/15, will the 235's look ok??
Post by: philo_beddoe on July 23, 2015, 02:03:50 pm

On my 77 c-10, the tag in the door calls for 225/75/15, will a 235 still look ok? Is there much difference?? I have some H30/10.1/15 on there now which I hate!  BTW, I am going back to the original 15x6 rims.  Will the 235/75/15 be just fine??

Thanks,,

235/75/15 vs 225/75/15 is less than a half inch wider across the tread and about 3/16" taller tire.  Someone would be pretty hard pressed to see the difference with the naked eye.  It'll be fine.

They will fit and look good, 235/75r15 is 28.9" tall 225/75r15 is 28.3" tall. If you want wider go with either 275/60r15 (28" tall) or 255/70r15 (29" tall).
