So i didn't know where to put this...

cause i'm retarded i swear. just a heads up, i really don't know anything about tires or rims or any of that.

so i have 265-50-r15's on my 84 right now, came with the car, i though they were stock but whoa was i wrong. they are a serious low profile radial tire, that are shot to hell.

i have to get news ones with my next check, i have like 300$ to spend on them...

option one: i get 2 on the low profile tires and put them on my rear wheels so i can hook and put the 2 less worn down tires i have now on front for 275$...or....

option 2: i get 4 stock 215-65-15 tires for 302$, skinnier, taller, and not as good looking or performance wise.

what do you guys think?

ps if anyone has any used tires that are still in reasonably good condition pm me

Hmmm, second time I've seen this today. Not even a full moon. . .

Try the Suspension/Chassis forum. Forum description:
"Questions about your suspension? Need chassis advice? Need help with wheels or tires? " {emphasis added}
