Default BFG DR's
I have 15x8.5 konvo pro's and want to run BFG DR's.Should I go with 275/50/15 or 235/60/15?The 235's look like they will tuck beter.

I'd go with whichever has the taller sidewall. What's taller,
50% of 275, which is 137.5mm
or 60% of 235? Which is 141mm.
Go with the 235's.

According to JEGS there the same height. The 275's are wider,and I dont think a 10 inch wide tire is going to look right on a 8.5 wheel.

Run the 275's..More tire on the pavement, the better...Ask around for pics about the 8.5's, with 10" tires..Im sure guys are running them.
