Simon Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 31" is the largest tire that will fit on a stock suspension. In the future, searching using the advanced options helps a lot. The basic search function on this board is terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 As Simon says (hee hee), most 31's will fit. Some MT's will rub a little. I've never heard of 30's rubbing. You are paying attention to shipping costs, right? And realize you're going to pay through the nose to get a tire shop to mount and balance tires they didn't sell, right? I've found that unless you are buying a pre-mounted tire/wheel package from a huge volume mail order shop within a couple hundred miles of home, the total cost after shipping, mounting, balancing, and servicing/repairs over the life of the tire, the savings are pretty minimal. And if one of the tires turns out to be defective (the usual reason things end up on the internet is no one wants them), then you're screwed. Unless you want to pay to dismount the tire and ship it back. And pay to ship a new one back. And pay to mount it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dr Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 I found a set of Mickey baja claws for cheap, will this fit the stock rim width? 31-10.50-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yes, I have a set of BFG AT 31x10.5's on stock chrome wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dr Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yes, I have a set of BFG AT 31x10.5's on stock chrome wheels. I like your truck, so how does 380 sound for a set of 4 claws delivered, 30 or less to mount them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Well, given that they are $141.99ea from 4wheelparts.com I would say that is a deal I am guessing that these are used? If so how much tread is left on them? And if they are what you wanted and are really a deal.. then congrats!

2dr Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 they have 4900 miles, look like newish. I read a review and after like 3000 miles the editors said there was no noticable tread loss. So i'm excited, and the tires that are on her now look as though they have enough tread on them that I can go to the used tire place and trade the old tires for the cost of mounting and balancing, at least that is what I will offer.
