Look on the door frame tag. What size does it say?

maroman88 09-17-2010 07:51 PM

lol i know the size, was lookin for a brand/model recomendation

Not sure I can recommend anything in the price you stated. Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Though, I'm sure you can find some Walmart or Pepboys tires for that price.

To me, 'dinky' means 'small' and 'beefier' means 'larger', so I assumed the original owner had replaced the stock size with narrower tires. Sorry you weren't clear.

Perhaps some here don't know. Not all Blazers from all years had the same size tires. When asking for help, the more info you supply, the more help members can offer.

Firestone Destination A/T, FWIW.

Dbam31 09-17-2010 11:39 PM

haha great I'm glad to here that. those are the tires I want to go with after my duratracs go out. If you have a little bit more in the bank go for these http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetai...GEN04568150000 those are my first choice ;)

AJBert 09-17-2010 11:57 PM

I must be missing something here. I thought the OP was asking for tires in the $100ish range?

Dbam31 09-18-2010 12:35 AM

like I said, good luck with that. zr2's come stock with 31's. Buy an offroad tire for $100 dollars??? I hope it fits the lawn mower.
