I run 235/75-15s on my BIIs and they do very nicely for road and trail running. Just wide enough to get traction in most types of terrain including highway, fuel mileage is good and they fill the wheelwells out nicely without killing the pocketbook.

I've used and like the Firestone Destinations, Cooper Discoverys. I have been running the cheap $55/tire Goodyear Wranglers that I picked up at Wally World. They are actually pretty good tires. Just pulled some very hefty trailers with them also on my Ranger. My son in law has been running them on his Grand Cherokee as has a friend of mine at work.
like this... 235s are right at 30'' right? gonna look into this size tire i believe thanks

yeah, 30x9.5's are slightly larger than 235-75's. Depends on the brand though too
