Hi, I wanted to ask is a 32x10.5x15" an available tire size you can buy from most popular tire stores? Does BFGoodrich sell this certain size tire in their all terrain model? I know 31x10.5x15" is very popular and almost any tire manufacturer makes this size. If you happen to know please reply back. Thank you.

Check the Interco tires website. They make the Swampers and Boggers and always have wierd sizes. BFG does not make that size, though.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't think BFGoodrich was going to have this particular size tire. I wanna try to go with a 32" tall tire, but at the same time be less wider than 11.5". I'll check Interco out and thanks for the reference.

Speaking of it I was thinking about that size but am not sure if they are too big for the setup I'm going to be running for my 86 Trooper. It's a factory turbo diesel 4 door that I bought with no engine or trans and I plan to drop in the same engine (but non-turbo, the C223). I'll lift it at least 2" and after that I want to get a tire that will make up for the added fender space the 235/75/15" tires leave. I also have to keep in mind that the engine has 58 horsepower and I don't want to run a tire that's too big in the case I can't turn them like the smaller 235/75/15" tires. I was also thinking about 30x9.5x15" for a choice, but the height might not be there. I think I might go with 31x10.5x15" unless a 33x10.5x15" weighs less. It's a decision I'll have to make as I go along with the project and thanks for your reply.

Wow, zKnight thanks a lot for getting the weight on the BFG tires for me. Really appreciate the info and it's looking like 31x10.5x15" is the route I may go for buying new tires in the future. Thanks again and I'll take a look at the BFG website.

Alright, thanks again for the info and help. I appreciate it. The 33x9.5x15" tire is what I wanted to go with originally, but after a 2-2.5" suspension lift some people were saying it may be somewhat unstable and have the possibility of rolling given the tire is tall and narrow. I don't think it's that big of an issue, do you? I wanna try to keep running the original 15x6" rims that came factory on the 86, so in turn that will be a wide enough rim for the 33x9.5x15" tire I think.
