Front Tires
Hey, sorry to bother you all again, but I've got a tire question that the search buttong hasn't helped too much on ha. I am wanting to run MT ET street radial 275/60r15s, with MT Sportsman S/T Radial 225/70r15 in front. Would this tire combination work with just the emergency brake relocation in the rear? I haven't seen much on using 225s in front, even after trying to search... I may go to 245/60r15, but would rather have the skinner front tire, and I fear the 245/60 front may be too short and look awkward. Thanks so much to anyone who tries to help. Thanks!

The rear tire you going to use 275/60-15 is 28" tall. If you go with the 225/70-15 in the front it is 27.4" tall. So they are pretty close in overall diameter. Is that what you're looking for? If you go with the 245/60-15 in the front it is 26.6" tall or about 1.5" shorter. The big and little look if you will. What wheels are you going to use and what backspacing? If you stay with stock ralleys either front should work and it's the rear where you will have to be creative.
