"I need to replace the tires on my 93 Dak 4x4. The current (stock) tire
is
235/75 R15. Now, I am really leaning towards a set of 30 x 9.5 x15's.
Because they are a bit bigger (the 235's look a bit anemic) but not
substantially bigger. I'm thinking that the 31 x10.5x15's would be too
big
for the stock 15 x 6 rims. Will the diameter difference of the 30's make
a
big dent in acceleration? Any positive or negative stories? Should I
just
stick with the stock 235's? Any tire reccomendations?"
-John, 30's are just a tad taller but noticeably wider than the 235's.
I replace 235's with them all the time. However, there are many truck
tires out there that are being made in the 255/70r15 size, but you have
to check the load rating of the 255's if your 235's are extra load rated
to make sure you dont have a weaker tire. Bridgestone makes the Desert
Dueler H/T in this size as well as a few other tires. The 255 is the
same height but 2 cm's wider. The 30's are a good choice if you want a
real heavy duty tire, like a 6 ply.
