Default Best tires for 02 Blazer 4x4

Hi, a newbie here (to this forum)...I am needing new rubber for my blazer..currently have stock 235/70/15s on it....does anyone have any ideas on a size of tire and wheel that I can use other than 15'' without messing up the odometer or anything else? 15"" tires and wheels are getting extinct LOL...looking for something that will look up to date and look good, w/o breaking the bank...And maybe some ideas on a good place to buy also...I live in the St. Louis area...Thanks in advance

I had no trouble finding 235-75R15 tires at Discount Tire. I just recently put a set of Kumho Solus KR-21s on my Blazer, in that size, for $420, mounted, balanced, and with full road hazard warranty.

There aren't any Discount Tire stores in Missouri, unfortunately; the closest to you is in Springfield. Even so, if they have it, others will. You don't need to bother with changing sizes and dealing with speedometer issues.

It's not the 15" wheel you need be concerned about for the speedometer and odometer accuracy, but rather the rolling diameter of the wheel and tire combination. My stock wheels with 235/70 Firestone Destination AT's measure 27.25" diameter and I programmed the PCM accuracy with my Hypertech.
