Daily Treads

[BigMike]

I'm just curious if anyone who uses their rig as their daily driver and saves their "Rock" wheel+tires for play, what do you use for daily driver tires?

I know alot of people use BFG Alterrains but Im looking for something more than that, something inexpensive but about 35"

Probably Im looking for some dump tire brand that is only measured in the xxxmm/rim size/profile. I dont even know what a 15" wheel and the same size as about 35" is using that method of measure. Anyone know of a good tire size converter/calculator on the web?

I plan on using my truck for alot of highway miles, visiting friends all over Cali and I dont want to waste MTRs on the pavement. Any suggestions?

Thanks
BigMike

So now you know what Im looking for, post up some ideas!

[BigMike]

What size is 235/75-15 in inches?

Just $96 bucks!




So I plan to have two complete tire sets with their own wheels of course. For driving around town or playing in the mountains I'll run my MTRs, but for the highway I will slap something else on an 

Anyways, its late and im probably can tell huh WAKE UP!!!!

used tires are always nice! cheap to

[BigMike]

These are pretty cool but they dont make them in the size I need I hear they are like rock climbing shoes, they grip rocks on the trail so good they dont need any tread

used tires are always nice! cheap to

I guess once I learn how that works I'll just slap on what ever I can get my hands on for cheap and save the money doughnuts for offroad

With a  P-metric tires size, the closest to a 35" tire is 315/75-16(which I believe is the current LC size). It look like aspect ratio is limited to 75 series which in order to get that tall a tire forces the rim size up to a 16". I belive this size also requires a minimum 8" rim width probaly 10" to be stable.

Those BFG KO's do pretty darn good in most stuff but mud. I know a lot of folks that run them and I am concidering it as well. A bud has a used set for 32's for $230 for 5. I think I may buy once some of my junk sells. They ride good as well. I ran the previous AT on one of my trucks and was quite happy. They wear like IRON.

Costco sells them about $140 mounted and ballanced with road hazard. Still have to pay taxes.

I ran BFG AT 32's on my 93 4Runner for over 85K miles (2 sets).  They are really decent tires.

[BigMike]

Ok cool. Thanks for the experiences, I'll try to find some ATs then-

Mike,   Randy's R&P has a bunch of usefull calculators on his site

beat ya to it there kyota

[KYOTA]

oops sorry, you can kiss my buttocks now

[Skinny_Pedal]

oops sorry, you can kiss my buttocks now

my avatar says it all there buddy

[cebby]

and also, 315s are 33's

315/75/16 is 34.6"      (according to Randy's calculator)

[88runner]

What size is 235/75-15 in inches?

235x0.75/25.4x2+15= 28.877952755905511811023622047244" so it's almost 29"

235 = width of the tire in mm
0.75 = percentage of the width of the tire = height of a side wall
25.4 = 1" = 25.4 mm or 2.54 cm
2 = 2time the height of a side wall
15 = rim dimension
