    Anyone running either of these size tires? 235x75 R15 or 30x9.50 R15
    I'd like to see pics and hear what everyones opinions are. I like the 32x9.50s but man interco is the only place that sells them and they want a mint. OR maybe I'm a tightwad...
    Thanks again!

    Why not run a 31 10.5? Not quite as narrow but everybody makes them. Are you wanting to keep the stock wheels? If you switch to 16" wheels you can run a 265 75 16 which is a 32 10.5 equivalent, and a 235 85 16 is a 32 9.5 equivalent. The 235 75 15 is only a 29 9.5.

    Looks good with the slots. Are they 7's or 8's? BFG makes a 32 11.5 if you want 32's. I plan on replacing my 35 12.5 with 33 10.5 next summer. Need 7 including the spare and my M100 trailer plus wheels, which won't be cheap.

    Here are some 31x9.50-15 Interco's on my flatty. They were ~ $104 bux each in 2005 and worth every penny of it off-road. ;)

    I like the 33X10.5 15s I have on now - I had some 31X10.5's that were real good as well.

    I got the old stock tires off my steelies and just for fun I had them mount up a 235/85/R16... It looks like a good fit for the steel rims, I thought they might be to wide. Tall and skinny and the prices are reasonable. I think i'm gonna go the retread route as I can save a good chunk of cash that way and I have someone that can mount and balance them.

    Currently my steel rims are bathing in some sodium hydroxide or LYE to remove the black paint, white was underneath it. I'll take the wire wheel to them and paint them up and hopefully be ready by the time the retreads show up. If anyone is interested.

    These are 7.50-15.

    I wanted larger tires (33X10.50) because of my 4:88 gears and ground clearance.

    Who makes the 33x9.5-15s? The only ones I've found are BFG All-Terrain T/A KOs.

    I ended up putting me some 235/85/16s on my old 65 CJ5. I snapped a few pics of them. Put on some re-treads from tread-wright.

    I like the look of them......
