    I have a 15" wheel that is 10" wide. What size tire fits that would give me 29-30" diameter?

    295-60-15 will fit and give you the diameter.

    Back in the day I ran 285 / 70 / 15 T/A's but now Coker is the one who makes them and they are 3 times the price . 265/70/15 light truck tires are close in height but an 8 to 8.5 rim is more than enough for width for them.

    265/70r15 - 29.60" - 752.0mm - Ideal width for 10" rim
    265/75r15 - 30.65" - 778.5mm - Ideal width for 10" rim

    285/65r15 - 29.60" - 751.5mm - Maximum width for 10" rim
    285/70r15 - 30.70" - 780.0mm - Maximum width for 10" rim

    295/65r15 - 30.10" - 764.5mm - (this is a touch too wide for a 10" rim in my opinion)

    10.5 x 29.5 slicks fit a 10 inch rim really well.

    Depends on what look you want, and the intended purpose.

    12-1/2" wide, or so. About 30" tall.

    Yeah you're right, a bit short for the OP's needs. Sorry, got caught up in an '80s flashback, tire scapin' air shock blowin' moment there.
