Default Skinnies?

Hi everyone. I just ordered skinnies 15x3.5 inch and I dont know what size MT front runners to go with.

I have a 26 inch tall tire in the rear and I dont want a hard raked look. I like symmetry lol.

Any help here would be great. The backspacing if needed is the standard size for a 2001 camaro ss.

1573 if you want a dot spec'd tire. Do not use 165 radials period.

that is a mickey thompson part number for the brand you asked for:-). 3007 probably the one that you see a picture of above. Another very good choice especially for weight. They are not DOT spec.

26.00 x 7.50 8 ply MT Sportsmans, aka 1573's, is what I run. I thought about getting some cheapo Metric radials to save money but after seeing the load ratings and the fact they are designed for a 1200 lb VW I changed my mind and went with the MT 1573's.

What PSI are you running in the M/T Sportsman fronts with that load rate?
