Tires?
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:19:49 am »
I am looking to get new tires as I now have 4 flats. :(
Right now I have 235/75/15s and I was wondering if I
could run 31x10.5/15s on the stock rim without a lift?
Thanks

Yea they will be fine.  I recommend the new General grabber AT2's , BFG all terrain preformance with out paying the inflated price. I just installed some 235/85/16's on my camper special.

31's will do fine.  They fit on any stock chevy fullsize I've ever seen.

I think 31's are perfect for stock suspension.  I just bought the Goodyear Authority M&S tire in 31.  I love'em.

that's a perfect tire size for these trucks, it's what I ran on my '82 4x4.

It's a generic tire... I wouldn't go out of my way to find those but if you are looking for them Bj's, Sams club, Costco etc carries those. I would go with a decent tire like the Cooper DISCOVERER RADIALS or just look on tire rack's website as they have a good variety depending on the ride you're looking for.
