Thread: What tires to put on the old truck?

Tweet

Well when I can't physically work on on the 48 F1, I think about stuff like this. Right now it hasLT235/75R15 on the back and P215/65R15 on the front.
I would like something that looks right on the vintage mag wheels and has more of a classic hot rod look vs. the low profile wagon wheel look. Also want a tread pattern with good handling capabilities. Any suggestions, here's a picture of the truck for reference.

I put some Ford 4 wd wheels on mine... A bit of paint, trim rings, and shiny lug nuts do wonders!!!!! Tires are Uniroyal--245-70s in back, 235's in front.

All I have on my old F100 is a set of 225/75x15 Cooper steel belts with an 18 mm white wall on painted steel rims.Serves the purpose and looks the part[I think] Try to dig out a photo.

Keep in mind that it is in preference to shiny wheels,As you can see,its not perfect,and I dont want mags..
