Question New tires for a 95

I was just wondering of anyone has a suggestion for new off-road tires. I only want to spend about $100 a piece. The size I need (im not sure if thiese are the right numbers or not) 31x10.50R15 ??? that sound correct for a 95 4x4?

Thanks,

Blaze

31x10.50's should fit no problem. right now i got pep-boys tires. i got each one for 90 bucks (and mine are bigger than yours - 33x12.50x15), and theyve been pretty good so far. wet traction isnt the greatest, but i have 20,000 miles on them and still have about 1/3 tread on them.

The BFG's are nice.Good wear. Might be a little more than 100. My spare is a BFG AT. 31x10.50x15 is what I have. They are a good +one or two tire. If you go to 33's consider getting a wider rim like Donate54 has.

If you off road alot go Mud-terrain. If you commute alot go AT.

Also I found a set of Mud Terrian's at this site: [/url=http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=BFGoodrich&model=Mud-Terrain+T%2FA+KM]Click Here[/url] .

Prices are fairly good.
31's will fit w/out lift.
33x12.50-15 might rub radius arms.
33x10.50-15 probably wont rub.
order one extra for your spare.
Consider Super swamper's radial 33x10.50-15, same price.

Check out the selection at your local stores too. Sometimes they have deals you can't refuse.

My Wild Country's have a very aggressive tread, but one didn't balance very well. The BFg-AT I have was free and balanced ok.

I looked and the cheapest I could find a dwamper for was $180 a piece. The max I want to spend is about $135 a piece.

Thanks,

Has anyone used the BFG's in the snow? I've heard mud tires aren't the best in the snow?

thanks,
scott
