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.

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.

I have 295-50-15s on 15x8.5 Cragar SSs on the back of my Challenger right now, no rubbing with me in it.
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?
