31"x10.5 r15 tires?
 

Hey,

Is anybody out there running 31" tires on their 2WD SWB? I just picked up a mounted set of Toyo 31"s on rally wheels for use as my winter set and am wondering how the fit is. Currently I have mounted 255 70 r15 Cooper Cobras, which I love. I believe the 31"s are approx 2" taller and am curious how they will look/perform. Any issues to report? If you've got a second, how about sharing a pic or two?

Thanks so much guys!

These were 30x9.5/15 tires on 15x8in wheels with 4in bs. Had no clearance issues.

I'm running 31x10.5 All Terrains and 15x8 alloy wheels on my 2wd swb, stock height. No rubbing, but I don't care for the look of it. Too much tire. These were mounted temporary so it was movabe. Looking at 255/70 instead, but tires aren't what makes it not safe to drive so it'll be a while.

For winter driving, a 235/75 would be a good choice I think. An all terrain tread or a snow tread. The skinny tread will dig right in and they're still 29ish inches tall.

Nice rigs guys!

Appreciate the feedback. I agree and suspect that the 31"s will be a bit too much tire (looks-wise), but I got such a good deal I just couldn't turn them down - always nice to have another clean set of complete rallys anyway. I also agree that the narrower 235s would bite better in the snow, but we get virtually none where I live - I just want to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on my brand new 255 cobras (which are so awesome).

Anyway, thanks again for the help guys, most appreciated as always!

My Red Ryder project had that size in the rear. Too much flotation for a winter tire in a 2wd. A 235/70/15 performed a ton better.

I was running set on my 92 and swap them onto my 83. It fills the wheel well and adds a little lift, but as bnoon commented it sucks in the snow with the wide foot print.

Been running 31's on my 78 since 1986 and my 85 since 1999. Very happy with them, no rubbing, etc. Both trucks are 2wd long beds.
