getting new tires on the 00

[heptofite]

I was thinking of going from a 225/70 to a 235/70, i have a 2.5 lima with a 5 speed, will the tire change turn it into a dog?

also, what is a very good tire for it? it's 2 wheel drive, but i'm not against the look that the ATs give me, and they seem to do good in the rain.

also, would 235/75/15 be too big for a lima 2.5 to push around? i've got 3.73 gears

my '04 came stock with 225/70/15's. I jumped up to a 235/70/15 good year wrangler and am pleased with the results I've had personally. i noticed a slight loss of power with 3.55's the truck has the 2.3 5 speed but it's not horrible and it's just on hills pulling my trailer and such. i plan on going to a 31/10.5/15 and will defendant change to 4.10's when i do..

I would go with a 235/75R15 as it is a super common size and shouldn't affect the power too much especially with a 5 speed.

Tires depends on where you live, what your normal driving conditions are (what roads you drive on, weather... ect), what you expect out of a tire.

i went from 225/70r15 to 235/75r15 with a little mileage loss, only because i have the 3.55's. but my 4.slow makes up for it in brutal gut wrenching torque. if you have limited slip, get bfg at ko's. you WILL go anywhere you want. even with just a 2wd.


let me put it this way, i can get places, my buddy with serious mud tires has to put it in 4 by to go. now if its an open rear end, you either need a locker, or some big rims cus you cant offroad stock.
