Tire size

I am thinking about new boots for my 66, standard ride heigth. I have run P 235 70 & 75R 15s for a while, but now am thinking LTs. The P235 75 R 15 that are on it now measure 27 1/2" tall. That size is close to where I want to end up. I do not like the narrower tread width of the P series. The square shoulder look of the LT is more appealing to me. I think I like a 10.5" width tire and using the chrome Ford wheel from a 92 that I have. I want a quiet running tire, Michelins are close to the top of the list.

With what I have listed, what recommendations do my fellow Slick owners have, for size & brand?

thanks

John

I have had excellent results from all top of the line Michelins that I buy with great rain tolerance and long life but I have to say they are noisey compared to the BF Goodrich Radial T/As that came on this truck. These BFs stink in the rain.
