There are different brands for those sizes. E.g. Pirelli, Goodyear, Yokohama, Bridgestone, etc...

Not sure exactly what you're after, but all those mentioned above make tyres in that size. 235/75/15 is about 1 inch (25.4mm) smaller diameter than a 30x9.5R15

235/75/15 = 29X9-15

255/75/15 = 30X9,5-15

My tires are Goodyear Fortera 225/70R15, max recommended size by the manufacturer. IMHO

Assuming its a Feroza, about the biggest that is reasonably easy to fit are 31x10.5 - usually on 15" rims.

You do have to wind the front bars up almost all the way ( no droop travel ), chuck the front mud flaps, and if your rears are stuffed then that might be an issue. As droop travel is already an issue with Feroza's this isn't the ideal solution - but its quick and easy and to solve it properly is a very big job.

Depending on the actual tyre diameter ( a 31 could be bigger or smaller depending on the brand ) they can also touch the inner guards at full bump, which if used hard will crack the body. Bump stop spacers will fix this.

And... this is the real issue, you gear ratios will be even worse than they are stock. If you are serious in your offroading then THINK VERY CAREFULLY. If its more fore looks ( and thats fime by me ) then 31's

I run 235x75xR15 good years they are about the biggest that i would want to go for a do a bit of highway driving and its just not nice to be pushing anything any bigger than that. And as mighty mouse says you will be starting to run into other bigger problems if you are wanting to go off road.

I see you are from holland. Try malatesta tyres from italy
http://www.malatesta.it

Good tyres for feroza are mlatesta kobra or kaiman

kobra

kaiman

Price for one tyre kobra or kaiman in 195R15 (195/82/15) is 65 EURO.

I find the car bible webpages are good for size information like this. Check the calculator about 1/4 of the way down the page.

ok its not a feroza its a rocky with 2 inch suspensionlift coming up a 2 inch bodylift
and i was thinking something like 31/11/15 or 16 inch

Post by **nebivedu** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 6:30 am

Both kobra and kaiman are in 31X10,5X15 and 265/75 R 16 so this is for your car.

As my advice was based on a Feroza - pls ignore.

The top one is a remould based on the tread design of a Yokohama Geolandar MT and the bottom one is a straight rip off of a centipede (which you can buy here in a remould as a mongrel)

There are some very lax rules on copyright of tread designs in Europe and there are lots of copy remoulds available - like the mongrel here.

ok thanks for that i have done a bit more reading found a really good swamper the only concern that i have now is that i am going to get really really bogged. Like a mate told me had a blitz got it stuck put swampers on then got stuck worse so put on winch got stuck again and worse the story goes on got to draw a line. Thanks though guys for your time and information.

Hello manus, i have small 33" tyres on a original Rocky, but with suspensionlift and bodylift is a width 33" also possible. We had also a Rocky with suspensionlift and no bodylift but we cut the fenders a bit, and there are 35" tyres on it. I am sure that with your suspensionlift and your bodylift the 35" tyres will fitt also, but with high flex it is possible that they rub a bit. Check out my site for pics of these Rocky's: www.gonzo4x4.be
Or come over one day and you could try the tyres on your car.
