I need to get replacements for my 275/50R-15 tires but BFGoodrich dosen't make them any more
I could get 295/50R-15's but I think they will rub on my fender lip so I am stuck with 275/60R-15's

anybody else have recommendations before I get them?
oh yeah gonna check what year they were made too!
thanks

There is a Cooper 275-265-/50/15 RWL tire that owns the wrap.

60's don't have that hi-po , in the [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean], look.

Contact Coker Tire. You might be surprised that they have or have access to get the BFG P275 / 50R / 15 tires that you want.

Good Luck...

no way?

bfg 265-275/50-15's? I have been on a quest. The journey has taken long, and the fire has grown dim. Do you shed new light on the crusade?

WAY...

I was looking for two ( 2 ) BFG 285 / 70R / 15 Radial TA tires for the rear of my Plymouth. I even called the BFG Factory Marketing Dept. and was told they stopped manufacturing this particular tire in December, 2006. Well, I happened upon the Coker Tire folks at the Springfield, OH Cars and Parts Swap Meet in the Spring of 2007, so I asked if this particular tire was still in their inventory and the answer was yes. Now, I am not guaranteeing that Coker still has the BFG 275 / 50R / 15, but, based upon my experiences, it would certainly be worth a phone call or an e-mail.

Good Luck...

I got my 275/60R-15's mounted and to be honest they look awful, too tall and narrow
I wanted to mount my old tires back on but didn't because they were 16 years old, cracking and a safety hazard
I called to see if 295/50R-15's were available becasue I would have bought those too but they are on galactic backorder and learned that 50 series tire on 15" rims are being phased out

sucks but oh well
just gotta save up till I get 315/35-17 for the rear

I saw the 285/70 BFG's on the Coker website earlier this month, but they were something like $220 a piece! (Albeit a whitewall.)

I know this size tire is real popular with the street rod guys, but we also run them on the back of our '64 Savoy. I hope they can do a run of blackwalls for a more reasonable price.

A 285/70 and a 275/50 are two completely different animals!

That goes without saying.

I guess I got a little off topic when I saw the reference to the 285/70's. Sorry about that.

Never heard anyone refer to 275/60 15's as tall or narrow!

I have 275-60-15's on 10" wide wheels on my pickup and they look kinda small. If you mount them on an 8 or 8.5 rim the sidewalls start to bulge out a lot more and they look a lot better.

My brother has a set of 275's on 7" wide buick rallye wheels. Looks awesome, but the tire wears poorly since the rim is really too narrow for that wide of a tire.

I need new tires for my truck and would like something wider than the 275's. The only thing available is the 295-50's and they are a lot shorter which is going to raise my cruising rpm up and kill some mpg in the process.

I'd really like to put those on the back of my 70 b-body on either 8.5 or 10 inch rims but I'm afraid they would rub on my car, I need to find someone in the area that that has them so I could at least try them. Maybe the original poster coiuld do the same?
