I'll find it latter. lol

I have 235/60/15 on my front and a 295/50/15 on the rear. I'd like a 60 side wall, but I don't see any tire in the AVON or the M/T SR listed. The possible size is a 27" or 28" for my rears.
My fronts are Goodyear Eagle Billboards 26.5x8x15, which according to SASCO’s website are 26.2” in diameter, with an 11” section width and 7.9” tread width. I have about 2” of clearance between the top of the tire and the centre of the front wheel arch. For comparison, SASCO measures the Avon 245/60/15’s at 26.7” in diameter with a 9.9” section width and 8.7” tread width - my best guess is that they should fit ok.
