Tire Size Questions

Howdy, FTE Family,

Got a few questions about the 'right' tire size for my daughter's '96 Bronco;

The door sticker lists P235R-75R/15,

The spare is a P265/75R15

Tires presently are 31X10.50R15LT (Put on five years ago by me).

I bought the truck from the original owner and the spare was on it when I got it-new Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. It is at least one-and-a-half inches taller than the tires that are on it.

The only times this truck has been in four-wheel-drive was for couple of Georgia snows (About six inches)

So, comments/recommendations...

Thanks in advance,

You can put a 33" tire on it with minimal rub

i personally think 31s look best on them, they dont look stuffed under, and they dont rub

Thanks for y'all's responses. I'm partial to the 31's myself.

Regardless of what you do, make sure you have the same size tires all the way around if you EVER use 4WD. Discrepancies in tire sizes WILL damage the transfer case/drive-line components if you have different tire sizes on it.
