What size tires do I need ?

Just bought 93 Bronco, has 4 dinky snow tires on it that make lots of road noise. Would like to fill wheel wells better, what is the most common tire size that looks good for every day driving and is quiet?

Do you have any body or suspension lifts? I think that the biggest tires you can put on a stock bronco are 32". I have 32x12.5x15 BFG AT/KO's on my stock body and upgraded RS5000 Rancho shocks. With a 2" body lift you can go to 33's and so on up the line.

No lift all stock, I was looking through this magazine for used tires, seems to be a lot of 31x12.5x15 I suppose that is just a little smaller than your 32x12.5x15 right? Seem more common.

without a lift, people more often go with 31s but you can fit 32s Dave
