235/70R/15 For 1998 4x4 4dr Blazer?

i have 235/75r/15 on my 2wd and my 4x4. both 1998 4doors. so you should be able to fit those without any trouble. on my 2wd, they rub just a little bit in tight turns. on my 4x4, they dont rub at all...although the tread has worn down quite a bit. i dont know how much difference there is between 70 and 75 as far as height but it cant be all that much.

yes, the 70 = 70% of the tread width. So the sidewall of the tire is 70% of 235mm, versus 75%. Shorter tire = more leverage = less effort on the engine to do the same work = better MPG (usually, there is a point where you'll be going the other way).

I have a cheap set of Uniroyal Laredos (235/70/15) that I use in the summer and a nice set of Firestone Winterforce (235/75/15) studded tires on my Jimmy at the moment (which by the way are awesome in the snow!). I am searching for a good set of 30/9.5/15 AT tires for the summer; BF Goodrich has some decent ones but General Grabber AT2's are the best deal for your dollar. 30" tires are the largest tires you can put on a 2nd generation stock S-series without trimming your fenders or a lift kit.
