Yep they will fit. I had a set on 7" and my old man had a set on 10s, both 2wd 1/2t, both cleared no problem.

bitchin85 · 12-20-2009, 05:03 PM

Thanks how were they in snow and off road? And did they ride decent or like crap

b454rat · 12-20-2009, 06:35 PM

I honestly don't remember if either truck was ever in the snow. I know they rode better, more tire to cushion. Both were 2wd, so no offroading.

I've got Michelin 31x10.5/15R's on 15x8 truck rallyes. Nice, quiet, smooth ride. Handled light snow very well. Never offroaded with them. Only problem was that I went to the larger size after removing the stock 275/15R tires. First time I got out of the truck, I miscalculated the new height and landed on my keister.

haha i hope i dont have that problem. im also looking at puting 3/4 ton or big block coils on the front to make it sit level. i know it will make it ride like crap but a trucks a truck. i dont mind that at all. does amyone have a pic of a 2wd with stock rims on 31s? im sure theres some on here im just too lazzy and tired after working 9 hours today. thanks guys

I'll agree, that you shouldn't have any fitment problems with that tire on a truck rally rim. Even at full-turn it shouldn't rub. I just put a set of tires on this fall, that were that size.

But my truck is 4x4, so it could be a little different. I gained a little under 2" of additional tire height, and significant width over the old tires I had, 235/75 if I can remember correctly. Looks a LOT better with this size tire under it, for sure. I have noticed a difference in performance, the change in final drive ratio due to larger tire size, has taken a little of the 'zip' out of my ride. Works great once at speed though.

I'm not sure which goodyear particular model you're loking at, the link just took me to a main shopping page. All I can suggest is, do your research online. You can find reviews for pretty much every tire out there, to help in your comparisons. Be warned, though, it's very hard to find a tire that EVERYONE agrees on. In that size you will usually find all-terrain tires, and mud-terrain tires. Your driving style and conditions will tell you what is probably right for you.

IMO, that price is not THAT great of a deal. Pretty sure you could do better if you tried.
But, I will say, that most any NEW tire is going to work better that some old worn out one, so depending on your situation, they could very well be just what you need.

Personal opinion is, that i would never buy tires there, I've just heard too many horror stories over the years. But I have a TON of options in my area, so I can be picky, not sure if that really matters to you or not.

Your link didn't show any specific tire..what where you looking at?

*78 Chevyrado* · 12-21-2009, 04:02 PM

Here ya go. I haven't seen a full size truck yet that won't fit 31's on it.

Here's my old 2wd 77 c10

For my tastes, a 31 is the smallest tire I'll have on a full size truck.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 12-21-2009, 05:53 PM

Yea you shouldn't have any problems they should fit fine. I have had 31's on stock trucks before I have yet to own a 2wd though lol. But they should ride better with a little more cushion with the tires being bigger and meatier.

bitchin85 · 12-25-2009, 01:45 PM

got the tires and put em on myself. they took forever to balance but i love em. they look and ride awesome. now i want to get 3/4 or 1 ton leafs and coild to make it sit a little higher

**78 Big10 454** · 12-25-2009, 02:21 PM

Watch out for that first step!

bitchin85 · 12-25-2009, 02:24 PM

what am i watching out for?

Curly86 · 12-25-2009, 08:12 PM

I have 31x11.50x15 on 8 in wheels and I have no problems and the do good in snow and mud

Prerunner1982 · 12-29-2009, 12:27 PM

I had 31" Goodyear Wranglers on my 82 with no problem, but it did rub a bit with 32"s.

Here is what it looked like with 31"s and stock wheels. Man she sure looked good.
