Hello, I'm thinking about getting some new tires for the rear of my 2wd 71 long bed. Right now it has 31x11.5's (15")on it, they pretty big. Just wondering if you guys could post some pics of your trucks and tell what size tires are on it? Oh ya stock height. Thanks, Joe

Bump

Also wondering about my speedometer.....it reads faster than I'm actually going, not sure by how much but......my rear tires are bigger than stock....at least I think so. But wouldn't that make my speedometer read slower than actual speed?

Those are in the offroad/truck category.What wheels do you have?A stockish size would be 235/75x15 and they`d go on up to an 8" wheel.I assume that`s what you might have.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure how wide the wheel is, but they are modern wheels, and the tires look to be street tires to me. Maybe I'll take a pic later. Just wanting to know what others run on their trucks too...I want somthing thats gonna be somewhat beefy and have some traction. Joe
