I see that there is a range of front tire size being selected throughout the tire threads - 235(/50)s in this instance, 245s and 255s for others. Comments on this? Might as well chime in on 275/60 vs 295/50 for the rear while we are having the discussion. What really fits best on each end?
Also wondering if MT offers a white letter option? I have old Goodyears now, and like the look of the white lettering. I don't think I am interested in doing a billboard conversion on my own...
M/T "SR" tires are not metric sized and are not white letter. You can add the letters with the Tredwear kit.

The SR tire sizes are 26/10x15 front and 26/12x15 rear or you can use the 28/12x15 in most rears. Some like the taller 28s to fill the wheel well up. I have an unused , new pair of 28s that I will sell for $350 for the pair, they sell at Summit for $242 each.
