How tall do you want to go? I'm assuming a 4x4 truck? It's hard to find a tall narrow 15" tire. The 265/75R15 is about equal to a 31x10.50R15. Guys are putting those and also 33x10.50R15's on stock wheels. You can also get bias ply N78x15 in a mud tire. If you locate a set of 16" wheels you would have a lot more options.

Hey, thanks for the insight and response. that’s good to know about 33’s - yes. 4x4. 33 x10.5 on stock rims would be great. Yep...seems like the 15’s are limited and tire guy said becoming extinct.
for now, I’ll stick with the 15 rims and see what I can find in the 33x10.5.
I have 8 brand new 235 75 r15’s that came with two parts trucks. One set has less than 25 miles on them and the other less than 100. Rather just sell 4 of those on CL and go taller.
