I am a lucky owner of a 68 charger from Norway but need som expert help from you guys... :2thumbs:
I have ordered some 15 in x 10 in, 4,875 in backspace centerline Auto drag from summit.
In the front I will use 15 in x 7 in, 4,000 in backspace. My problem is to get some good looking tires.
My plan was to use bf goodrich 295-50-15 in the back and 225-60-15 in front.
But unfortunately they have stop selling 295-50-15, so now what??... I like the style from coker pro-trac but
they are bias belted and that is not a good thing, or what???? Is there some kind of tires that are similar to
them but radial??Have also been looking at Hoosier pro-street radials 29x12,5R15LT(HOO-19150) . will they fit in the back? :popcrn:

Thanks ::) Is there some brands that make a 55 profile in 295?
will 275-60-15 be ok on a 10 in rim??
Think I like a little bit taller profile than 50 so I am so confused what  to use :scratchchin:

I run Hurricane 295/60/15s on the back of my '69 on 8.5" rims.
Only slight rubbing going up certain driveway curbs but otherwise fine.
Great tyres too.
Gotta love a '69

I had the same problem as you, wanted the BFG's but they aren't going to be available.  I went with Firestone Firehawks, wasn't crazy about the Indy 500 at first but I'm learning to like them.
They are mounted on 10" wheels with a 5" backspace, looks like that back space must work on 2nd gens too.  Fronts are 235/60/15's on stock 7" police wheels.

Here is my story.
