Default Sizes, sizes, sizes.

so, I'll be (hopefully) acquiring an 84 K-10 this week, and one of the first things I need to do is get a set of four normal tires. I plan on doing street driving, but I still want good traction. i was looking last night at some LT235-75-15 Firestone Winterforce tires... Will that size be okay? or are they going to be tiny?

it has the 31 10.50 15's on it now, but that size tire anywhere is pretty spendy...and I don't plan on doing anything but regular person driving. probably won't do much off-roading.

a friend had also told me to maybe look at dually tires... but I don't find any in a 15" and they might be a bit tall...and not real wide...

Recommendations?

Ryan

My son`s 95 s10 blazer has 235 75 r15 tires and they are not very big even on an s10. So, I`d go bigger.

On a full size blazer, it's worth it to go ahead and pay the extra money for the 31's. You won't be happy unless you do that.

Keep looking around at a lot of different tire shops. I looked for at about 10 shops and found my tires much cheaper at the last place I stopped in at.

I kind of was thinking that I might not be real happy with tires that short. I know stock size is a 31...and a 235-75 15 is only 29, so that's quite a bit shorter.

we have a LOT of tire shops in Topeka, So I should be able to find something for not too much money. Big O, Peerless, Cooper, Firestone, Bridgestone, Goodyear.........you name it, Topeka probably has it.

On of the threads I was reading last night the guy had Hankook Dyna Pro HT's...I though those looked nice but they're like 130 bucks a piece online... I was hoping for more like...100...105...
