Default new blazer, trying to get a bigger size than stock

Aight everyone, i have a delima. i just bought my new blazer, and i'm trying to figure out what is the biggest size i can get under a stock 01, 2 door blazer. Please let me know. Oh, and i'm just looking for an all-terrain, nothing too aggressive. Thanks!

Here's a nice tire, Destination M/T. clicky.



Here is what I had installed. (Destination LE.) I went up to a 75 series from 70. I wanted the Destination M/T's above but I needed tires that day. clickety click.

IMO the are quiet at 70 mph and have ogood traction in in our WNY snow. Good luck!

what is the stock size that came on yours? there were optional stock sizes, going up to 235/75R15 (29.5")

the biggest tire you can put on with little worries is a 30X9.5, it may rub the sway bar a little at full turn, depending on how far your steering stop is

the size that is on there now is 235/75/r15. I'm just trying to get it a little beefier looking without going throught the trouble of lifting it. i was told today that i coud fit 31's. I'm still a little skeptical about that. let me know what you think.

Hanr3 has 31's I think. The problem is that not all Blazer sit exactly the same heigh, so 31's on his might not fit on yours. Typically, you need a susp. or body lift of about 2" to fit 31's without trimming.

There is a full writeup on what tires fit, its the sticky just above this topic. At the very top of the section.
