Stock/OE tire size

Sorry if this is a repeat, I couldn't find one that related to my question. Just obtained a 98 Cherokee four-wheel drive and apparently the original tire size is something that is hard to get, just curious what size you guys are using instead of the 235/70/15 or 225/75/15

235/75-15 is a very common size for people to run on stock suspension.

235/75 r15 for winter and 255/70 r15 for summer is what I use on my stock xj.

Running 235s currently too. They worked when stock height and still look and work decent on my 2.5” lift.
larger than stock and gives good articulation without hitting the bump stops
