Looking for opinions ? My pickup came to me with 15" wheels (originally 16" I believe from Canada) and white wall Firestone bias ply tires. Just to experiment I pulled the 16" wheels and nearly new Diamond back tires off the coupe and tried them on the truck, Today was the first time I've had a chance because of poor weather to go for a ride , quite a difference in the handling for sure. The bias tires from the truck are pretty old but show no cracks either on the side walls or tread. Question is: would it be better to look for another set of 16" wheels or buy new Diamondback radials for the 15" rims already on the truck ?
