    Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I'm trying to find the correct size tire for my 67 C10. Currently on the front are 205 75 15s and G78x 15 on the rear. The 205s look too small, I'm thinking that 225 75 15s are morev the right size? It's a 250ci 6, long bed step. Thanks.

    I believe 235 75 15 is closest to original. 265 75 15 will fill the wheel wells a little better, and have the truck standing a bit taller. Many run the 235's on the front, and the 265's on the rear for a slight rake, and the taller tires at the rear help with fuel economy a bit.

    Thanks for the info. I was unsure of whether or not to go with 225s or 235s. Before my post I asked arounbd at several tire places and 2 local chevy dealers and nobody seemed to have an answer. Thanks, I'll get the 235s. :)
