To sorta answer your question, my '98 ZJ (5.9L) came with 245 or 255/70/16 stock. All this talk about "215" is news to me. ZJ tires were bigger than XJs. |
The stock tire for a ZJ when they were sold in dealerships were Goodyear Wranglers, 225/70/r16.
http://www.mysears.com/Goodyear-WRAN...reviews/topics The tires my 4.0 has are Kumho soulus 225/75/r15. They are really good in the rain, and suprisingly did well in 3 feet of snow last year and didnt slip on the ice we had that coverd the roads yesturday. We get great gas mileage on them too. Last summer i did alot of driving in the city and suburbs and i got 17mpg average from the tank, and the computer reading, on the freeway i easily get 23mpg at 65mph. We have had em for like 4 years now and the tire tread is still really good. They are cheap too, and have good ratings. ZERO road noise So if i were you i would buy a set of these. http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.p...&nichtweiter=1 One tire i recomend not getting are these. My 5.9 had them when i bought it 3-4 months ago, and they looked like great tires, had a mean looking tread on them and they do good in the rain and normal driving. However once it snowed out i slid all over the place with them, they are terrible in the snow. I checked out the reviews and ppl said the same thing, 5 stars for everything but snow/ice and tread wear. However since they were brand spanking new on the 5.9 i havent replaced em. Just gonna use em till they wear out and get better ones https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop...&sku=311124110 |

I could be mistaken about the 245 being stock. It's been years ... But 255 is def what I had on there before I sold it because my Revos are the only set of street tires I have ever purchased new ... you tend to remember your first :D. There was no rubbing either, and I had them swapped onto my Durango when I bought that. But I am sure that they never came with 215s. |
Yea as stated 225/75 R15 were stock and you had the option of running 235/75 R15 from the factory. Mine came with 225/75's

Dude chill ... by 215 I mean 215x70x16 or whatever ... 215 being the tire width. You're talking about wheel diameter. 2 different things. In your example, your 225 is the tire width. So you're saying pretty much the same thing I am.

I have 245/75/15 on stock suspension (98 ZJ)... Looks good.
Gerneral "Grabber AT" - looks like a BFG All Terrain TA's |
Don't forget, guys, The middle number (ie 75) is the percentage of width in height above the rim, so a 225/70R16 is about the same diameter as a 225/75R15. I still haven't figured out the inch series system yet, as in 31X10.5R15. What does the 31 mean? Is it overall tire height?
