| Hey all - I have read through the forum posts on tires and there is lots of good stuff there. Looking for for recommendations for off road tires to fit 15x5.5 rims, but that will not require a lift. Trying to keep stock. Interested to hear from folks what they have mounted. |

I had BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/A on front and rear.
Sorry I don't remember the size, but I did also run air shocks on the rear with a schrader inflater:
