Arent the Futura brand tires the line which Pep Boys carries? I dont know
anyone who has these nor have I ever seen them in action, like on
'unpaved-surfaces'. How much do they want for one tire? Or how much can you
spend per tire? Give me some number and I will give you some suggestions
bases on what you want/can spend. Remember, you are going to have your
spedometer off when you change tire sizes, as well as loosing 'some' gas
mileage and overall performance when going to a taller tire. If these dont
bother you, as I dont really care about them myself, go for the 31's. The
10.50" wide 31 might rub minimally when turning, since they are a wider
tire. The 30x9.50 will fit with ZERO clearance problems. Good Luck.
