Tallest Tire For 15" Rim

I know there are tons of threads about tire sizes and I have looked through many of them. I currently have 7.00-15LT tires on my 67 CJ5 and am looking to replace them soon. I am doing some investigating but it looks like my jeep was lifted at one point in time, so I'd like a tire that fills the wheel well a little better. Would there be a taller tire that fits the 15" rims without having to go to a modern 30 x 9.50 or 31 x 10.50? I know a lot of people run 7.50-16 which are larger, but it sounds like finding the larger wheels is tough (and expensive)

 

You could go to a 235 85R15 which is almost a 31” tall tire. I believe your size is 28”

 

Does that size actually exist?

 

Try the interco NSS on for size.......| Interco Tire

 

Bias ply

 

Nice looking Jeep. Welcome from another North Carolinian.

I've been looking for a while and haven't been able to find anything other than the Super Swamper TSL in 29x8.50-15. Downside is it's bias ply and load range B.

 

I've been tempted to try some UTV tires, they have some interesting sizes.

 

I've thought the same thing. There is a BFG 32×9.5R15 KM2 for UTV racing. Not DOT approved so not technically street legal, but it's probably fine for a light Jeep that see mostly off-road use..

they make super swamper tsl in 34 x 9.50-15 but I think thatd be a bit much for you they also make it in a 32 x 9.5 expensive though.

 

You had to post that link.
Then I had to click on the video.

I want to go run that course in my 3b.
It would be an epic failure, but it would be fun.

 

Look into Buckshot Mudders too.

 

Yea I have some older gateway buckshot tires that measure 35.5"

 

Hah, makes my spine hurt thinking about doing that with a Jeep. Other than the big jumps, I'd be all over that playground on my quad though.

 

I have a tiny lift probably same as yours and I have 33x10.5x15. I've picked up both ends with my forklift and no rubbing with the wheel pointed forward.

 

Do I need to worry about my rim width? I found another thread where there was talk that 30 x 9.50s and 31x10.50s were too wide to be mounted on the stock 15" wheels.

 

i run 31x10.5 its ok and looks good but they are kinda bulged definately wouldnt go any wider. Im not sure how wide the wheels are i will measure if i can remember

 

These are 32x9.5 r15 on my cj5 with stock springs.
