I'm currently running BF GOODRICH RADIAL TA 245 60 15 RWL TIRES on the rear of my 1980 Monte Carlo with stock suspension parts will a 255 60 15 tire work like the 245 60 15 tires in the rear?Thanks

I've run BFG Radial TAs on 2 different Malibu coupes with no problems.

I missed the important part; they were both 255 x 60 x 15s.

Here is the difference between the two...

245/60-R15 tires are 0.47 inches (12 mm) smaller in diameter than 255/60-R15 tires and the speedometer difference is 1.8%
