Why do GoodYear billboards suck

Bill D, can you supply a link to the tire you are going with. I looked on that site and didn't see much I liked.. maybe I over looked it.

Go to dbtires. com and then open up the PDF file. Go to page 21 (blackwall smoothies). Then pick your size from page 18. The tires are H rated (130 MPH). I'm going with 295/50R15 in the back and 255/60R15 in the front. They are the same size as the BB's.

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.

Thanks for posting the comparisons AC. From the data the dbtires are more square due to the smaller section width
