right now im sitting on some stock tires and rims and im looking to try and find some beefy tires to throw on my stocks but i have no idea about tires at all. where do you guys get your tires and how much do they normally run? btw i have no lift or anything at the moment and i want my 98 blazer LS to look beastly.

atm im sitting on Michelin xch4's, they are 235 75 15, and this was a used set i bought, never bought a new set yet, had my truck for about a 2 years, my Wrangler GS/a's were pretty much new, but i guess if i were to buy new i would buy from Tirerack.com or something like that, im looking at Firestone Destination AT's they look alright =)

I take it that your Blazer is a 4x4?... You can run up to a 30" tall / 9.50" wide tire on your stock wheels with no problems.

I have 30x9.5x15 BFG All Terrains on my truck for the past 6-7 years. If you are looking for something beefy and cheeper check into Pep Boys if you have one by you. They usually have a buy 3 get the 4th free and they have their own brand that looks pretty good. Check out BENEDICT's truck to get the brand.

well they are probably 225 75 15's so they would fit ur truck, i had 225-75's on mine, i just went up to a 235, but overall why not just read reveiws and such on them then decide

atually, they probably are 215/75's m3ch.

it's the next most common size after the 235/75's.

as for what rubber.......well, it's all a matter of personal needs, brand loyality, and of course, the cash to buy.


like m3ch said, start reading the reviews to decide. 'cause personally i'd rather run on the rims than drive on Toyo Open Country A/T's again. but that's just me.

go to pep boys and check out the definity brand dakota tires. had experience with both the a/t's and m/t's and they are both great tires for a cheaper price
