31 inch tires
I currently have some 32,15,11.5 Bridgestone ATs on my 94 Bronco and the tires need to be replaced. I can get a pretty good price on some 31,15,10.5 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO. Is my truck gonna look p*^^y with the 31 inch tires? Will I even notice the difference in circumfermance and width of 1 inch? What are the advantegous (if any) of throwing on the slightly smaller tires?
The truck is stock with no lift.
I apprecaite any thoughts whatsoever.
Thanks

Does size matter....
I currently have 30X9.50X15's look at my gallery and judge for yourself. I personally think 30's are pretty small but I just bought the truck and can not afford to do anything else right now. Stock from what I remember is 235/75 and that is between 30 and 31's.....

I got a steal on my 32-11.5r-15s and I honestly cant feel a differance between the stock tires while climbing into the truck. the only time I can tell is when i turn extreme and hear and feel vibrations from rubbing. I honestly didnt want them that big, but four BFG all terrain TaKo for one hundred and fivety bucks, you cant go wrong. if you get a good price, and desperately need tires as bad as I did, who cares what it looks like, as long as your passengers and yourself are safe.

Man you guys think 31" tires would look bad, I have the stock 235/75/r15 tires which comes out to 28.9" and they don't look good at all, I'd love to have 31". It looks like I'm running car tires. I can't wait until I have enough money to get some bigger ones on.

All this talk about tires make me think of something...
My current set-up includes 33" tires and a 3" body lift. I love the way it looks, but hate the way it drives.
By that I'm talking about the constant Drive/Overdrive dance when cruising around town or on the highway. I'd rather not get into swapping gears so I'm looking for some possible alternative solutions.
Would mounting 32s help at all? I don't want to go too much smaller because I want to avoid creating a giant gap in the wheel wells.
A buddy suggested messing with the TPS, would that work?
My truck sees some off road use, but is mostly a commuter and camper hauler. As it is now, I have to tow the camper in Drive to keep the tranny from searching all the time and that gets kinda pricey on the longer trips.
Thanks in advance.
