Any suggestions on tires?

I just bought a set of nice American Racing "Baja" 15 x 8's off a guy and now I need a set of tires. I want to go with 255/75/15's. My first choice would be BF Goodrich radial ta's but I havent found any in this size. Anyone got a suggestion....
also I cant decide whether to go with raised white letter or black walls there going on a solid black 71 Ranger XLT. Whats your opinion?

[font color=red size=2]Are you looking for something a little taller? wider? Your stock size is 235/75/15, which are about 29" tall. A 31x10.50 would be about 2" taller and a litter wider. That's what I'm getting next time, for my '73 F100 2wd.

Just a thought.;-)

I run 255/70 15's on 7.5 rims looks good IMHO. What's your backspacing? Might rub if it's too much. I like raised white letters but thats a personal preference
