am i correct tire size

Re: am i correct tire size

sorry to hi-jack but the factory size on the typhoons are 245/50/17 will the 255/50/17 work as well and look good i think they will look chunkier and should fit i think they are the same diameter as well, i got some that came off of a mid 80's corvette.

Sock is 245/50/16. 255/50/16 will fit fine, make sure all four tires are the same size.

Re: am i correct tire size

i have 315 30 18 on the rear of my truck, the size i need for the front is 275 35 18 ! am i correct

My personal opinion, and of course, you don't have to listen to me but, I would try and snag a 245 for the front. 275's, while looking great, pull you around too much. I had the same issue on my Ty and now my wife's Ty and going to the 245 up front made a HUGE difference.:2cents:

Is it a look your going for or actually need traction of wide tires? For simplicity, go with all the same exact size. If your going for a look, go with what Tytillidie's suggestion. I am planning 600 wheel and running a Bfg Kdw 255/35 r18 and a 295/30 r 18. Not the widest tires, but Still has some stick.

If you want a certain brand, you will need to see what sizes they offer in a certain model tire. I had difficulties. I wanted wider but chose there sizes because They were affordable, decent tire, and available. http://syclone.invisibill.net/tirecalc.html this should help you if you want 2 different sizes. Like me.
