TheDirtyJeep401 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm getting ready to get new tires and was wanting to put 31x10.50R15 on my Comanche. It is a 86 2.5 with 3;55 gears. just wondering if some one has done it before and get some recommendations for tire sizes. I want to get some beefy tires, not street tires.

yxmj Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have 31 x 10.5 x 15 BFG AT's that I like. I am running 4.10's and both in town and on the highway it doesn't feel under-powered. The only thing will be you might need a little lift for clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyJeep401 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 don't have to lift it to fit 31s just maybe the lower control arms swapped. Is it sluggish going up hills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yxmj Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 No I have lots of power,,,,but again mine is geared lower. If you can get away with out the lift great ( I installed V8 ZJ coils in the front for extra clearance. Sits nice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manche_mane Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 i have.55 gears and could spin my 31x10.5 all terrains when i had them. but when i went to 32x11.5 mud claws i lost alot of power. so id say 31s are the biggest u wana go stock -edit: i have a 4.0 auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aside from that pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I daily drove mine for a while with 3.55s and 31x10.50s then I went to 33x12.50s still with 3.55s. The 31s were fine,but the 33s sucked. I'm now at 4.88s with the 33s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 No it seemed to go up hills fine, I never drove it on stock size tires so I'm not sure what the difference would be.. I did lots of mountain driving with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
