I was figuering to use 245x60x15 fronts and 275x60x15 rears How does that equate to the M/t tire sizes do you know?
thanx
Alex: They changed over to this stupid inches system on some of their tires, so now I have trouble cross referencing. However, I gave you the wrong link. This link is to the tire I was talking about which is the strip/street tire. It also correlates to the normal system by sizes which we can relate too. I would suggest calling their tech group and tell them what rims you have and they will tell you what part # and sizes would address your needs. This is the link is for the radial that you would want on the rear though. Then go back to their home page and go to the Street Rod Tires on the left hand column and you will see the Sportsman S/R.

NOte: if this link doesn't say ET Street RAdial then it's the wrong tire. You want the ET STREET RADIAL on the rear. I have part #3753R as my rear tires on the link (275x50x15). You have to keep radials on front and rear, so the Sportsman S/R works well with the ET Street/strip Radial. We were shocked at how well they ran together. No push in the front and the rear is like glue. We are still shaking our heads at the driveablility and traction. BTW: I spoke with M/T support and then I bought them from Summit and had them in my hands in 2 days. I would call these clowns and have them give you the correlating conversion for the S/R Sportman based on your 245 size for the front.
