OK stock tire size for me is 225/70-15. I want a LITTLE taller, but not much. Nothing that is gonna make it much slower. What size do you suggest?

 

31x10.5

 

Thats a 27" tall tire

31's would be a 15% increase in size

Or about the same as going from 3.55 gears to 3.08's

(of course you have the extra weight and such of the tires)

Dude, whatz yer truck?

Ryan, he's currently running ~27.5x9R15's.. So 31x10.5R15 would be a LOT taller! His speedo will be off by something like 12%! And may not jive well if he has an XL..

 

yea im gunna say 30's for the XL, i should be running those soon....

 

if they dont rub there not big enough

 

lol...


30x9.5x15 to play on the save side

31x10.5x15 for fun

32x11.5x15 get out the plasma cutter

38x15.5x15 who needs fenders? lol

 

well put zach ur the man!

 

Sorry my bad its a 02 XL. 2wd, 4 banger 5 speed. I dont want my speedo to be off i just want a little bigger tire and meaner look. But doesnt like 225 refer to width? I dont want wider, I just want taller

 

I also have 373 gears

 

Next size up is something like a 235/75R15
thats a 28.5"~~ tire

Thats about 5-6% taller

Thats also a popular size so alot of tires are available...

 

corey i just sayed in my post very simple and easy ignore the 32's and 38's that was a joke but the other part wasnt

 

why thank you lol...

 

The second number in the size is the aspect ratio 225/70 is 225 wide, and 70% of that tall. So increasing the width, will also increase the height if you keep the second number the same...
245/75
265/75
285/75
The 285 is the widest, AND the tallest...

 

235 75 15's are a good upgrade and priced from $50 up each . I had 7.00 15 lt's on my 01 ranger . No rubbing , more ground clearance and fantastic in the rain . But mud would suck with them . Stay with any of the reasonable suggestions , and have fun . Ps . mastercraft makes a pretty bad looking lt .

 

personally i would recommend the chap a set of 30x9.5x15....

 

But will it be extremely slow?

 

any taller tire will make your speedo off it may just be a little but it will be off. I have the 235.75.15's on my edge and i think that they will work well for you, i think i'm going to go a little bigger when i get somemore but i have a 3.0 with 4.10's

 

You will still be able to spin a tire with 30's , It doesn't make that big a difference, and you have a whopping low gear in first. You might like not being as gear bound in first too . Probably be faster than before !

 

fine someone around you that upgraded tires on a keep. typicaly they are 235/75 or the 30.5 tire size. im sure they will sell or give them to you cheap.

 

235/75-15 is slightly smaller then a 30, go with that and you'll be fine. I wouldn't get 31's my 3.0 is slightly slower with them and i have 4.10s

 

yeah id go with what 311fanam said, 31's would prolly suck for you

 

hell no. ok I HAVE a 4cyl on 32's here with 3.73 gears. my truck drives fine keeps with traffic and everything else still drives on the freeway fine. now i dont use 5th that much on freeway mostly 4th but i also do normally 80-90mph on the freeway. 30's arnt that bad all
