Question

I've previously posted this message in the "Vintage Mopar" forum and didn't get an answer. Let's see if there's anyone here who can answer my question.

I've got some problems with the rear tires on my Challenger.

The tires are BFG 265/50 R15 (Radial T/A) on 10 inch wide rims. I think these tires are too wide and would like to change to tires with the dimensions 255/50 R15. The problem is that the only 255 tires I can find are BFG 255/60. This means that I would change to narrower but HIGHER tires, which isn't what I want.

Does anyone know if there's any tire manufacturer that has a 255/50 R15 tire (for street use)?

A 265/50-15 compared to a 255/50-15 is only a 10mm difference which in english is .394 or 3/8 of an inch.
