Nice mud/snow tires that fit nicely on 16's

We consider Mazda's the "illegal aliens" of the Ranger site: you may think they're wrong, but they're here so you've got to deal with them! :wink:

In all seriousness though: Welcome!

so what do the bseries look like nowadays? Ive seen the 03's but did they get an exterior upgrade like the Ranger did in 04 and then again in 06 and 08?

Well ty all.

I have my first question

I have decided to get rid of the Goodcrap tires that come with it.....this is my 3rd mazda and i get rid of the tires from goodyear as soon as i can.

Anyways I am getting BFGoodrich A/T tires so my question is the truck comes with stock 255/70R16 tires and if I do the 1-2" (probally 1.5") TB lift what are the biggest tires i can put on those 16's without any other modding. I was thinking maybe LT315/75R16.

Any thoughts thanks. I wont post this down in the tire section quite yet.

Cory, what color/package did you order? nevermind you said it before i asked

Rescue 01-22-2008 01:11 PM

lol actually the bigger pic is a B3000 dual sport (4x2)..the b4000 SE has the chrome bumpers

it has every option u can get...except leather because its not an option :lick:

kinda wish I had color matching bumpers instead of the chrome.....have to keep an eye out at the wreckers (its winter 8))

jckb4000 01-22-2008 01:27 PM

i think the big pic is of an older modle, as my 02 b4000 4x4 is identical to that painted bumpers and all, the newer mazdas have chrome bumpers and alot better looking mirors like the 08 rangers thats it tho.

actually we are both right an '08 4x2 dual sport would look like that

only reason I went with mazda instead of ford was a better deal at mazda since i have bought 2 previous cars there.

Well the dealer jsut called.............he's having trouble finding a blue one....said it might be 4-5 weeks...but he can get a red one in 2 weeks.............ahhhhhhhhhh

Trigger01 01-22-2008 04:20 PM

Howdy! Welcome to the site!

fifthranger 01-22-2008 04:50 PM

Get the red. I can't believe they still make the B's. I wanted one badly, however, in my area they are impossible to get. I could have gotten a standard cab stick for $14,000 + (are you kidding me) a couple of months ago. So, even though they are on the webpage mazdausa, I was told get a ranger. I had three before so I figured why not?? I thought I found the perfect one -- a rare ext. cab STX. Looks just like the Mazda B, but with the Ford emblems. Oh well, I settled on my fifth ranger -- a metallic gray extended cab automatic, 4 door, XLT-- 08. haven't even hit 7,000 miles yet.

well he said there is a blue one out there but it is sold pending financing...so lets hope the guy has bad credit lol

oh before i forget also who resets your computer to reflect the larger tires? a tire shop or take it to the dealer?
