looking for the bigger fit
Couldn't say. I'm still trying to sort out info regarding maximum radial tire size. Some say 255/60/15 and some say 245/60/15. Rub or won't rub,... who knows? It's as though you need to find an outfit that'll let you try some on for size before purchase.

If you are going to run bias ply slicks you must use bias ply fronts. I once tried to use radials on the front and ET streets on the back. After a short trip up the street I was surprised at how bad it handled. Hard to explain but it sort of felt like the front was going one way around a curve and the back end was going the other way.
