Hello,
I just got told my tire with a nail in it was unrepairable today on my truck, so I am faced with buying 4 new tires and I'm trying to figure out what size I want to go with.
Its a 93 Ranger Supercab 4x4 with 4.0 3.73's and a 5-speed (converted by me from being an automatic).
Door sticker says originally 265/75R15 which is an oddball equivalent of a 31" tire.
My truck currently has 30x9.50-R15's on it which are about 28" tall from previous owner.
With my 3.73 gearing I'm looking at what tire is going to work best for this engine gas mileage wise??
I have been trying to figure out what the majority of 4x4's with 4.0 ohv's came with for tires with 3.73 gearing without much luck?
I would assume 235/75R15's?
Am I better off going to that tire size for better mileage (and cheaper tire price)??
I don't really care about trying to make the truck look like a mudder...I grew outta that a long time ago, lol.
Just want it to be as fuel efficient as possible for dirtbike hauling up in the hills.
