255/60/15 all the way around. No rubs, no problems. Just good smooth riding tires IMO. Plus they just have that muscle car look to them.

Re: Whose running BFGoodrich Radial T/A's (Rooster)
I also have the 255/60-15
There are not very many choices available if memory serves me, mine are getting a touch skinng, Corey whats with the FireHawk's SS20's? Do you like them? Do they have a "newer" tread design and profile? Seems like "everone runs the BF Goodrichs, not bad but like to be a touch different.

I put 4 BF Goodrich 260 R 15 TA's on all 4 coners of my 79. They have a great profile, they are quiet and handle great in all conditions. For the $160.00 per tire, you can't beat the value of this rubber. These are
Great Tires. :D :steering:

I've got 255/60-15's on all 4. Not too good for traction, and make a lot of noise when I break them loose. But, can't put down the price and they will last a long time. My next tires will hopefully be more like the dunlop Sport 8000 in 245/50-15's. A bit more pricey, but a lot better rubber.

Re: Whose running BFGoodrich Radial T/A's (71stingray454)
I use 225/70/15's on all 4. I figured I would use stock and then see how much rubber I could fit under afterwords.
Seems like the 255/60/15's fit fine. I will have to buy that size the next time.
I was also curious about the Firehawks and how they stack up against the BFG. :cheers:

These are the only tires I buy for ALL my vehicles. My Buick Park Ave has
225/70s, Blazer has flotation size offroad TAs, and the vette will be getting
the 255/60s.
