Any pics of a 72 4x4 0n stock tires? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to get some ideas for tires for my 4x4 and was thinking about maybe smaller ones.I know they may not look as good but it will help with the power and maybe even the milage a little also.But first i need to know how it will look,as of now i have 33's on stock height and was thinking maybe even 235's.I think that is what they come out with on stock?So lets see them smaller tires so i can get some ideas.

Here's mine with 235-85-16. The white one had 285-75-16.

love the bumper

What i am thinking is some 235s on 15 inch ralleys to be a little more specific.

hint hint...

Ahhh...we`re talkin` K/10 here,eh?That`s what came on my`90 Blazer and they were teeny,IMO.If you want that width BFG makes 9.50/33s that have a profile like a 16" tire,tall`n`shinny.Right away I went with 11.50/32s on my Blazer.Those 235/75s are about stretched like a lowrider tire over the 8" rallyes.I think they`re better suited for the factory hubcap-type wheels.10.50/31s look good on 8" wheels.Once again IMO.

My 69 K20 came with what I consider a standard farmer mud tire when I bought it. They are 31" tall and about 7.5" wide and the tread is awesome. The ride very nice and are pretty quiet.

Here they are back before I starting changin' my 69

And here they are now on my 70 K5 with 4" of lift.

Alot less rolling mass with these shorter, narrower tires.

Hey Yukon what's up? I was wondering where i could get a hold of a push bar like the one on the front of your Blazer? Mario

**Yukon Jack** · 03-31-2008, 06:21 PM

The pushbar would be real simple to build. I made a template and mailed it to a boardmember who said he would make a cnc template but never heard anything further from him.

Not sure who manufactured the one I have.
