Sorry trying to be concise but...
Yes you are correct ...Hard (if not impossible to get good tire for 9 X 15 wheel)
I can install either all 8 X 15s or 8X15 and 9 X15
I am trying to use existing tires plus 2 new ones .......Which means I had 2- 225 50 and bought 2- 225 45. Wanted 45s at rear for gearing help......but went back to AIM and they advice shorter tire on the front. So Plan is to go 225 45 up front on 8s and 225 50 on rear ...but still haven't decided on 8 or 9 inch wheel. I also have 205 50 s but feel they are too small .....
I am trying to avoid 16s due to increase in diameter and effect on gearing.
Hope that clarifies.
Anybody have experience with 225 50 on 9 X 15....Is it good or ??
THX

I know I missed something in the original post.. is the question to run 8's all around vs 8/9? and the other question the 225-50 vs the 225-45?
From an ease of use (and rotating tires) I would run the same size rim/tire on each corner.
Also, while the difference is slight, would running the 225-45-15 acheive and gearing advantage/disadvantage for where you are running?
Like the previous poster, I like the staggered 225/245 combo on 8/9s. Finding a wide low profile R comp tire to work on a 9x15 can be hard. Same with a 16".
