Maxxis
I'm currently on Yokohama's, 235-60-15 but they've been off the market for a while.
These are the one's I'm eyeballing once it's time to swap the rears to 255 or maybe 275;

Maxxis seems to have the sizes we're looking for, unfortunately it sounds like you're rolling on a feminine hygiene product
So how's your traction in the wet? " Now worries, I got Maxxis....."
They do seem to be the only ones with a relatively high speed rating (H= 130mph) being an SUV tire.

I've looked at these on the internet and it seems like they'd almost be idea, if in the size one wants. I just wonder about the ride and drive since they're "light sport" performance truck tires. So that tells us they're probably "stiffer"? I wish someone would try them and report. I like the H rating.
Unfortunately some of us think about a '66 F150, when we think of sport trucks, and not the modern high performance models.

2025 c3 ('68-'73) of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2024 C3 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I have two C3 and Im in the same boat with both. One has 15 pro stars wheels with 10 inch fronts 12 rears with old pro trac Bias Ply tires 50 series. On the other it has Center Line with BFG 275-50-15 fronts and 26-13-16 race tires in rear. The problem is that they don't make BFG 275-50-15 for the fronts but I believe 295-50-15 for the rears are still available. Need advise on what you guys have done to keep the 15 x 10 & 15 x 12 wheels when tires sizes are becoming an issue of availability. What's out there in manufacturer still making large tires, 275-50-15 & 295-50-15, THANKS
