I have a buddy that says my tires look too small. IMO little tires on a truck look like crap. Originally I thought they looked good but now I'm questioning myself. They're 15 inch 75 P235s. Will a 30 or 31 fit? Do mine look too small? By the way, it's not a 4x4 and I don't want it to have huge mudders or anyhting.

the 235x75x15 are equal to a 30x9.5x15. you should be able to fit 31s no problems and maybe 33s.

I think they look great. After all, your pal is not buying the tires. No need to get over-sized tires.

31's or 3's would look good but you do have a point, he's not paying for'm. I think I'll wait a while longer (till the tires start showing some wear and then do it. Personally I don't think the 235's look too small but IMO tires are like engines, the bigger the better.
