Replacing tires

[chevyzrule810]

I'm looking to replace tires on my 87 k10. It says from the factory it takes a 235/75/15. I'm looking for something bigger only doing a 2" lift so not to big of a lift.i can't find this tire size

 

[77 K20]

BF Goodrich makes that size in both their all terrain and the mud terrain.

I have a bfg all terrains and they wore out stupid fast. Got 30k on the two left and one has 5k miles left the other maybe about 10k. Both were rotated.

Try tirerack.com to see the ratings and differences of the various brands and compositions in that size, then make your decision based on the information acquired. There are aggressive tread, low rolling resistance, all terrain, etc. I use tirerack as a good source of information and sometimes actually buy from them. But sometimes you can find a local company that sells them just as cheap mounted and balanced.

If your putting a 2" lift you will be able to run 285/75R16 maybe even 33s just depends on your gearing and transmission.

TH400 with 3:42 gears will take 33s no prob. A 700r4 with 3:42 and 33s will not like it. A th350 should be fine.

I wouldn't go any smaller then 265/75R16 as long you don't have 3.08s and a 700r4

Was this the new KO2 tires or the old design? The new ones are supposed to get better tread life both on pavement and on gravel roads.

If the new design your talking about is the one with the new side wall then no. These are the ko just before those. Sucks because i got them this time last year.

If you look at a tire size chart you will get an idea of the overall diameter of each metric size. The 235/75R15 is about 28" tall. I am running 265/75R16 on my 2WD 87 GMC 3500 and they fit it nicely.

I'm looking to run the factory rally wheels got two sets of those and two sets of aluminum.Im thinking of keeping one set of each incase I change my mind.The ones in the picture are a Goodyear wrangler a/ts.
Tire rack will only let me go up to a 265/75 R15

You can search by inch sizes by searching by size.

I would suggest the Hankook Dynapro ATM tires then. I have had very good luck with them.
