My thoughts would be your rim is too skinny to allow a flat (square) foot print/profile. Get some new rims and make sure they are recommended for the tire size you select.

Too wide of a rim will also cause rounded-ness.

Get some new rims and make sure they are recommended for the tire size you select.

I think what he's actually asking for a style of tire that is flat / squared off on the edge of the tread/sidewall...
If so look at the BFG All Terrains or the General Grabbers and there are others out there.......

I don't think you'll find what your looking for in a passenger tire. You'll need to move to an Lt to get that profile. As mentioned above...the general grabbers have a nice square foot print

P or LT Has no effect on the profile of the tire. It has to do with the design of the tire.

That wheel and tire should fit a Chevy perfectly!
