The 55 series would probably look better if you are going with the same size front and back. Goodyear Eagle RSA's are available in a 55 series. Kumho also makes a "summer" tire in that size (There are probably a few others). If you want a 50 series, your selection is much better.
Just a note on the Goodyear RSA Tires. I needed tires a couple of years ago and a buddy of mine had a set of 235/70R15 Goodyear RSA's he had taken off a wrecked cop car ( RSA's are standard equipment on alot of Crown Vic cop cars) and they still had 80/90% tread left. These tires are great on our trucks. They are quiet and the tread is wearing evenly. When I do eventually lower my truck and go to 17's I will be getting Eagle RSA's as well.
