Default Tires

A guy I work with has a barley used pair of 26x11.5x15 tires he wants to get rid of for cheap. I have 275/40r17s in the front and plan on getting an extra set of 15s for the rear and eventually skinnies for the front when i have the money. Until then ill leave the 17s in the front so i would like to know if the 26x11.5x15 will be smaller than the 275/40r17 in the front. I'm not really good with tire sizes haha

If they are truly 11.5 inches then that translates to 293 mm. So it'd be pretty close to a 295 tire, I guess.

M/T 26x11.5 ET Streets measure 9.8" tread 26" tall . these will be about 1/4 - 1/2" taller than your front tires but close to the same width .

Ok thanks guys. I just didn't want to buy these and put them on and have the front tires look bigger than the rear tires. That would look so retarded
