Doesn't seem like very much to me... :icon_confused:

For 235/75R15 I use:
235 × 2 × .75 ÷ 25.4 + 15 = 28.877952" (or just 28.9")

Works out the same.

I concur . . it takes about 10 seconds to calculate. I have 10 secs to spare :)

You guys can sit around and figure out the exact size tires all day if you wish, with any method you wish, I just don't have a need to do that....I don't and won't lose sleep over if I know the exact size of my tires or not.....If you want to do some real math, I'll give you some of Ohm's law to calculate.

You must have a lot of time on your hands if you can take a comment such as, thats way too much math for me, and take off and run with it.....that was my opinion.

I rarely use mine off-road too....just because it says 4 x 4 doesn't mean you have to put huge tires on it!

well considering that I teach Ohm's Law . . I'm up for it. Remember, online you don't know who is on the other side.

I've always run 235/75-15s on mine, big enough but still runs out great on the interstate (140 mile commute). I have had 3 sets of Goodyear Wranglers.. the $55-65 units that WalMart sells specifically. They've done really well in all types of terrain and weather. :icon_thumby:

What is the biggest tire size that can be installed without modification? The 235/75/15's?
Anyone with pix of this?

It really depends on how much ur suspension sags. 235x75r15 are a safe choice, springs are in good shape so I think 30x9.5 r15 will work ok with out rubbing.

to add another tire question how is it that my 92 ranger and 94 explorer can both fit 31x10.50s at stock height and it seems that on a vehicle with the same(similar) suspension y'all cant fit anything larger than a 29"(235/75/15) without issues?
