Tire question
I just bought a 94 Bronco XLT. Has 265/75/R15 on it. I wanted to put BFG all terrains on it. Seems they dont make that size. Is there another size I could put on without having to recalibrate the speedo?
Regards
Stephen

A 31x10.5R-15 would be the equivelent of a 265-75R-15. I don't know if you ever plan on taking your truck off-road, but you could also put the next size larger tire (32x11.5R-15) on your truck, they'll fill up the fender well more, look better, and the speedo will not be off all that much. This is what size is on my Bronco and I think the speedo is off about 3-4 mph at 75 mph, so when it's reading 70, I'm really running about 74. It's not too bad.

Yup 265/75R15 is the same as 31x10.5R15. 32x11.5's rub on my buddy's 89 Bronco when he turns the wheel, enough to feel the truck rumble and harder to move if he turns it to full lock. Can't remember if it's the sway bar or the radius arm though. He has BFG AT's FWIW. They make 33x9.5 and 33x10.5 BFG AT's that might fit better if you want something tall and narrow, as the width of the 32x11.5's is the problem not the height.
