I run a mickey thompson (like) tire on the street. It's a 275/60 R15. that's 28" tall and maybe a 9" or so contact patch. Maybe 10", dunno

Do some looking around for vendors and see what sizes they come in. Then post and see what size will fit. doesn't matter which tire. a size is a size is a size.

I have the Mickey Thompson Indy profile 15" G50's on the back of my 69. The are 8" wide and I was told 27.5" tall. The problem I have is finding a MT tire for the front with white lettering. Any suggestions?

I made a mistake. the MT tires I have on the back are G60 15", not G50 15".
