At $450, there are a few options, But do you have 4x4? 4 door? From the 235/70/15 I will assume a 4x4....

I would look into a 30 in tire maybe a 31 in tire....

look at the dakota tires are pep boys. I think the 235/75/15's are just over $100 a tire and then you get the 4th free. I've had both the a/t's and the m/t's both are good tires for the price

Yeah, if your wanting something just a little thicker that sounds like a good deal.
I bought Firestone Fireahwk GT tires for mine and I like them a lot but they are about $160 each.

you could look at bfg a/t's as well



they LOOK the best imo. they do pretty good off road. they don't perform to what I do but they are perfect for someone who does light off roading. They handle nice on the road too

Im a huge fan of the BFG All-Terrain tires. They did win the Baja 1000 20 years in a row.

After that Id go with the Cooper Discovery series of tires.
Cooper bing the ONLY tires made in America by an American owned company.

I have cooper discoverers and i love them. They make a little noise but they stick to the road better than my stock tires and will pull you through mud without a problem. Theyre pricey but i got mine used and they're still better than anything i've driven on.
