When i first got my 2wd short bed '87 it had Goodyear Conquest 235/75R15's on all 4 and they were a good tire and looked good. When i got new tires i got Pacemark(CO-OP tire) 255/70R15's and they look good on there but i'd rather have the Goodyear's back. But what i want and i think look's really good on these trucks is, let's say 295/50R15's on the rear wheels and a 225/75R15's on the front wheels. I think this set-up looks really good on trucks that sit level. The truck has a skinnier tire on the front and a wide low-profile tire on the back which i think look's bad @$$, gives it a racy look.

I recently bought Cooper Discoverer AT's. A pretty aggessive looking tread for old guys like me (56). I got 30x9.50R-15's. Kinda wish I'd have gone to the 31x10.50R-15. Just didn't know if they would rub or not when I turned.
