mud tire sizes

[BRUTUS_T_HOG]

what is a good size for mud tires that look decent on a bump? im not looking for a HUGE tire..

from pictures i have seen 33-35" would be sufficient? but im not sure. i like the look/function of tall skinny tires.

i guess what im fishing for is pictures and tire sizes.

I use 35"s on mine. I have run 255/85R16's and loved the size for use, but it just wasn't big enough for me. If you want taller than 33.5" (255/85R16) and skinny I'd suggest going to a 19.5 wheel where many commercial tire sizes can be had around 35" tall.

255/85R16 sounds perfect. do you have any pictures?

i don't have a lift or plan on getting one so the pictures i've found don't do me much good for reference

What kind of truck do you have? 255/85"s will not fit on a 2wd or F-100 4x4 without a lift.

I am running 33x12.5x16.5 I like the look. I have no clearance problems at all. Here's a pic. Tim

I like 285/75-16s.
Basicaly the same as the 255s suggested by Average but wider. Looks good with 16x8 wheels.

Good point Doug. I should have added that a 255/85 should be on a 6-7" wide wheel. They look goofy on an 8" wheel

255's look good on stock wheels with hubcaps....Well at least I think they do

that looks perfect! i like that size. i don't even remember what size it has on it right now, but i don't think the wheels are stock.. they are 16" rims

and mines a F250 4x4 btw. i can't wait to start driving it again!

i've been driving my 89 ranger...

I have 315/75/16s on my f-250 and I like the height and how they fill up the wheel wells.. They look a a little funny because they are fat but they work.

I have to decide if I am going to stick with this size or go up to some 17 or 18s. I thought about 19.5s for a while but probably wont unless I start logging a hell of a lot of miles on my truck.

245-75-15 maybe 265-75-15 have fun in the mud...

It's very unusual to find a 15" wheel on a 3/4 ton truck.
