Well, close enough considering that the bulging sidewalls of the Billboard add considerable section width over the dbtires (that are sourced from Cooper).

Billboard Front is 26.5x8.0-15
Height 26.2" - Tread Width 7.9" - Section Width 11.0"
DBTire Cooper Front 255/60R/15
Height 27.0" = Tread Width 8.2" - Section Width 9.7"

Billboard Rear is 26.5x10.0-15
Height 26.7" - Tread Width 10.2" - Section Width 12.9"
DBTire Cooper Rear 295/50R/15
Height 26.8" = Tread Width 10.1" - Section Width 11.8"

So the rears are sized almost dead-on (except section width). The fronts for DBTire are definitely taller and wider, but the 255 size on a Cobra front end typically looks good. Good choices, Bill. Please keep everyone posted once you source and install.
