If you are looking for a good tire to go offroading with, and you don't mind
a little extremem looks, you should take a gander at the Super Swamper Trxus
tyres.
I got a set for my 15" Xterra rims, in 31x10.5x15 for $106 a piece. They
are a brand new tread design and blend a bit of the Goodyear MTR ($160ish)
mith a good old fashioned mud terrain, and then add siping, and top it all
off with a hellacious sidewall tread. I used them last weekend at 16-12lbs
of pressure in the Pennsylvania rocks and coal hills of Shamokin and I
couldn't stop them. and no worries of white walls, they don't make
whitewalls.
I got them from www.tyres.com and have been very pleased. They are not for
the concourse restoration, but I bet they are quieter than a lot of the
tores out there.
They just announced a bunch of new sizes at www.intercotire.com

No need to get the tyres mounted cheezy-sidewalls-out. BFGs, for
instance, have white letters on one side, and raised black letters on the
other. Last set of BFG MTs I got, I specifically told the tire shop
dudes to mount them white side in, and I went out to the bay to drive
away to find nice blue letters pointing out all around. I just about
fell over. Needless to say, I spent a little more time at the shop that
afternoon while they remounted everything. Can't give any size
recommendations for 15" rims--are you going w/ them b/c you're doing a
concourse resto? If not, I'd say pitch 'em and put 16" on. They're way
more functional, not to mention better looking.
