|
|
I have a set of aftermarket 15x5 rims that honestly don't look bad. They have 195/65r15 tires on them that are pretty old and dry. I'd like to add some Mud/dirt/all terrain tires that are taller than these, if possible on this size of rim.
Anyone know of a make/type of tire I could do that with? Stock trans so I don't want to get super tall.
TIA. |

I have 235/75/15 BFG All Terrains on 4.5" stock Bug wheels. Most places won't mount that size tire on that size rim, but it works fine. Just mount them yourself if you run into problems.
Lots of offroad style tires available in many sizes. _________________ Michael

If you can get them over there, get the orange compound (or green if it's available but that compound isn't usually off-the-shelf) - the blue is rather too hard for lightweight buggies and rails and they'll never get enough heat on wet tarmac or concrete to work decently.
They do a 195/75 R15 and a 195/80 R15 |
