35s. Same as my offroad tyres.
Us poor people cant afford multiple sets. You know, one set for the mall and one set taking the kids to soccer

31's. Answer this - why do you need any thing bigger than standard for the road? unless you like malling...

-diffs are too low to run standard.
-31's would look pretty stupid in a 38 space.
-can't afford three sets of tyres,
38's for trail.
35's for tours.
31's for tar.
hows that for a start
tyre size

I run 35,s anything smaller would look stupid with the spring over lift
also helps with gearing

1. because I can only afford one set of tyres and
2. what is standard on a 30 year old rig
3. as others have said, how would my rig look ? SOA, SR, 60 series diffs (front moved forward, rear moved back), Rancho 9036s, 60 series leafs and.......................... split rims with cheescutters
