Pros or cons?

Specifically how do the 31/10.50-R15 do on wet pavement? Are they sliccker than normal?

What about milieage?

I really think the 31/10.50-R15 are the better looking tires on Dents, but are they too much trouble?

 

Your 235/75R15 is less than 29" tall, so there is going to be about a 2" diff. in tire height. Your speedo reading of 65MPH will actually be about 69MPH, without being re-calibrated. Your mileage will depend on your gearing, because that will be affected. A 265/75R15 is virtually the same size as a 31/10.50 -R15, and will give you more tire choices. I agree, the bigger tires do look better.

 

I've had 31x10.50 for almost 7 years and have never had a problem with them. They have good traction and do fine on or off road. I am, however, going to get 33x12.50 in the near future. My tires are cooper discoverer by the way.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I had a kid in a Jeep with 31/10.50s hit me once right after a rain and he tried to pass it off as the tires fault. Been shy of them ever since. He hit me so hard, he cut my bumper in two!

 

That would be driver error, not tire fault. The only way I could see it as tire fault is if they were bald tires or flat. A 31X10.50 is not that big of a tire.I had a Wrangler with 32X11.50's and it stopped fine. Heck the Rubicon's come stock with a metric tire that is pretty much a 32" tire.

31s are still tiny, you wont have any problems with them. I have 33 12.50s on my F-150. Also had a daily driver 93 Bronco that I had 32 11.50s on for 3 years. No issues at all.

 

Thanks guys, i really needed to hear all this. 31/10.50 it sounds like now!

 

I have a 1992 ford 2wd stock height with monroe air shocks in the back I currently have 235 75 r15 Falcon wildpeak at3w and i want to move up to 31 12.50 r15. does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks! also I do have small spacers that make my tires stick out just a tiny bit
