What size tires?
Well it would appear the cold weather and dry rotted tires has taken its toll on my truck since I found a flat this morning when I went to the garage. I tried to refill it with air but it just leaks back out. Currently the truck has 31 x 10.50 x 15 on 15x8 rally wheels. My LONG term plans are to lower the truck mostly likely with a 4/6 static drop, but with a baby on the way I don't know how far into the future that will be.
My question is, what tire size would you recommend? In a perfect world I would like a tire size that will work with it at factory ride height now and later down the road with a drop. I can say that right now I am looking at tires in the 28-29" range, will that work with a 4/6? |

What about a 235/75/15? Its a taller tire so I think it will look good at its current height or lowered, but I am not sure if it will fit with a 4" drop in the front.

Re: What size tires?
Do you still plan to run the same size just with a different tread design or are you going to change size as well?

Re: What size tires?
i plan on going alittle smaller(70 series maybe 60`s if i go to a 275 width). not set in stone yet.

Hope this helps. 235/75R15's are 28.86 inches high and 9.25 inches wide. 255 tires are 10.03 inches wide and the 60 series are 27.02 inches high and the 70 series are 29.04 inches high and that is what is my stock height truck in the attached pic. Personally I think with the 4/6 drop you are contemplating a set of 255/60's would work for now and with the drop. The attached threrad is currently running on the message boards and should give you some ideas.

I have 245/60/15's on the front and 295/50/15's on the rear, but 275's are great on the rear

Re: What size tires?
These are the size combos I have come up with:
28" tires: -235/70 all 4 -235/70 front, 275/60 rear 29" tires: -235/75 all 4 -235/75 front, 255/70 rear -255/70 all 4 I like the idea of skinnier tires up front so I know that it will work when it comes time to lower it. Anyone else like one of these combos better for a 4/6 drop? |
Re: What size tires?
245x60x15 front 275x60x15 rear

Re: What size tires?
I know every truck is different, but does anyone have an estimate on what the max tire height is on the front with a 4" drop?
