Another wheel thread (79 Bronco)

My tires on my 15" wheels are worn out on my 1979 Bronco.

I was debating on just buying new tires for my 15" wheels but if I ever need a tire..15" tires are hard to find locally...since everyone is going with big wheels.

Im debating on going to 16" or 17" wheels.

Any suggestions or just keep the 15"?

I would just keep the 15s. I'm sure any tire shop could order the tires you want.

I would keep the 15s if you are keeping your tire size close to stock. I tried getting new tires for my truck and they only had a handful of options for my wheel size. Going 16s would be a good idea if you wanted to go bigger.

I went with 16s on my Bronco because there was a better selection of tires available. I kept 15s on my '85 F150 for the longest time and didnt have an issue getting tires.
