30x9.5/r15 (works well with upcountry suspension, may be a little tight for standard models)



235/75/r15 would be better.

I've got 235's on mine with no lift kit and I think it works well. Definitely fills out the wheel wells and I don't have any issues with rubbing on the LCA's either. Plus it doesn't throw off the speedo much either. Pretty accurate around town, but highway speeds it's off a little when I get above 65mph. Plus there are heaps of good choices available on the market in the 235 size, which helps with choice, availability, and cost.

I have 235's on my stock 95 and I think they're perfect. Like the previous posters, no rub, pretty accurate speedo, etc. They look great without looking "out of place" and definitely much more affordable options. I had 30.5x9.5R15's (OEM with "canyon wheel" package) on my 00 TJ and finding tires for that thing was a pain. The pain when looking at the price tag was even worse.

It's rude to ask questions without making any effort to see if it has already been answered. That's why there's a search function.

That's BASIC forum courtesy, on every forum in the world.

Ok, well perhaps Terry's new to forums in general.

Welcome to the forum Terry. Mark is actually a really awesome guy - so don't be put off.

Definitely read the general forum stuff and update your profile so your Jeep specs are available. You will get the best responses by asking questions in the right way with the most specific details you can provide.

One of the big points of etiquette is to bear in mind the original post/most recent post date and not to "resurrect" posts that are years old (or expect a response from a user that hasn't been on the forum in years) It happens all the time but it's poor etiquette.
