Default Dammit! (now turned... w00t!)

Well the quest for BFG drag radials has fallen short.... they are on national back order now and BFG has no production date set.

Are these the 275/50/15's BF DR. If so they were on back order last year that's is why I had to order the 235/60/15's BF DR. These are not that bad but the bigger size is a little better. You might want to look into the size I had to go with. Where did you try to order the tires from. That sucks for me beacuse I was getting ready to order the bigger ones.

OK... so bear with me for a sec... other than size... what is the difference? And how will they differ on a 7" rim?

The main difference in these two tires is the width. The 275's will give you about two more inches of footprint meaning they are wider. The 235 are fatter so they will offer more sidewall. They are both 26.1 in tall. As for the 7 inch rim the smaller tire will fit the rim better. The 275's should also fit the 15-7 inch rim. Check with the manu on what the recommend. Also can you find out if the 275's are available.
