What would be the best size tyre for the front of my buggy with 15in rims??

I have bridgestone 225 75 series on 15 x 6's,as fitted to Holden rodeo's etc ......... this is a good size.

Also depends on your rear tyre size ??

I run run 235/75R15's. Alot of the guys run that size on the front, it is a popular size and easy to get tyres in that size.

With some minor clearancing of the body and pan flanges at the front, I have an almost stock turning circle.

It all depends on what your going to use it for-

Sand, road, mud, racing or all of the above.

I use a 650 x15 yokohama 825 on one car (racing mostly) and 215x15 on another(mostly road). What Craig and Wes use also suits what they do, so what you need to do is work out what your gunna use the car for.

I run Yokohaha Guardex RV 215 80R15 Directionals on standard width 4 stud VW wheels...
They're tall enough to swap with a rear tyre if I get one spiked, miles from no where, then I only need carry one tall standard spare for trips away...

I have bridgestone wrangler TG's on mine (actually 185/14's) which are suited to off road use and have a mud tread. They range in sizes from 14 to 16 inch. See pics below....

I use 225/75R15 Wranglers on the Manx but i will change to 215/85R15`s very shortly. You will need a body lift to run 15`s on the front of your buggy. Before I lifted mine, 185R14`s used to snip the wires off the indicators at full bump....
