Sorry, your question is unclear.
Are you looking for a different size tire than what you have? What is your rim width?
What don't you like about the 31x10.50R15 size?
To run that size comfortably, you probably need at least 3:73 rear gears.

Welcome to FTE. This is a great site for all things Ranger.

The original equipment tire size is listed on the driver's side door or door frame.

How many miles are on the truck? Do you know or can you find out about the truck's service history? With proper care and maintenance, Rangers can last for a long time.

P265/75R15 is the p-metric equivalent of 31x10.5R15. Those are optional tires for a 4x4. The next size down would be P235/75R15 for a 4x4. Is that the info you are looking for?
