Just joined a while ago, already found the board really helpful. I think my truck should be done by early or mid-july, anyone up for some easier offroading around then? Hopefully this mud-bath snohomish area will be relatively dry by then. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the board.I was wondering why you want to put 30s on your raider. I would go no smaller than 31s.

I read a post in the archives where one of the guys who does a lot of the articles for 4x4 wire says 30x9.5x15 are the best compromise for a tire. Shall we open up the debate? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I have to take the car back to ND where I go to school. Would it really be worth it to get a bigger tire, icy roads and all? My budget only allows one set of do it all tires. I still want to be able to do some light to moderate trails though

I believe that most people start out with 31s My daughters
gen one has those and I wouldnt go smaller. I think that'sthe stock size.my gen 2.5 stared with 31s now has my second set of 33s and I like to at least go to 35s but I would definatly have to do a gear change(at the axle)
My toyota had 31s and I put 32 on,would have put 33s but 4whhel part warehouse said they wouldnt fit without a lift.
I'm so sorry I listened and didnt get 33s.You might want to start a new post and ask others what they are using so this post can go back to its origanl intention
