Tire question

[Matt_V]

Ok.. this might be stupid to even ask.

I know the Broncos run 31's... but there are a lot of tires out there that I dont understand the measurements of, like 270's, 285's, etc.

What size would be close to the 31's or equivalent... just trying to scope out my tire size options.

A P-metric 265/75R15 would be about the same size as a 31 x 10.5 x 15. Here is a tire calculator for you http://www.redrock4x4.com/tech/tire_calc.p...method=standard

Here is a nice chart from the Tire Rack http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/45_...rsionchart.html

The Tire Rack is a great place for, "everything you want to know about tires but were afraid to ask". http://www.tirerack.com

Good luck,

well the 275/75 r 15.....the 275 is the tread width in MM....the 75 is called the aspect ratio, it means the sidewall is 75% of the tread measurement (the 275 in this case) and the 15 is of coarse the rim size.

 

[Matt_V]

Thanks!! I new about the aspect ratio and all that stuff... just never understood completely.

Ok... with that in mind.. anyone know of a good heavy tread tire that doesn't cost an arm and a leg that is decent in loose soil, mud, etc?

I recommend the BF Goodrich Mud Terrains... They are a pretty aggressive tire.. and the cost is low...

Im not sure if you have a Costco Wholesale Store by you, but if you do, that is the best place to get them...

BFG Mud Terrains all the way

 

[Matt_V]

I'll keep my eye out for a good deal on some of those in 31x10.50 x15's

May I recommend 33x12.5 R15 Thats what I had on 2 of my Broncos. My 90 had no lift at all, they fit perfect with the exception of minor radius arm rub. My 89 had a 3 inch body lift with the same size and they looked awesome. But with the same radius arm rub.

 

[BB33's]

If you want zero rubbing but a good meaty tire a 33X11.5R15 will fit and have no eadius arm rub. Maxxis makes Buckshot mudders and they are cheaper than a BFG but if you are willing to spend a little more get the BFG's they can't be beat for price and performance.

I run 33x12.50 R15 ELDORODO ZR4's there AT's but with only a 2.5 lift they fit perfect and like yardape was saying only a little mild radius rub under extreme turns....and are not real expensieve.... B)

I don't understand but I have rub and I only have some 31x10.5x15 Bridgestone dueler A/T
