My '99 also has stock ride height. I don't want to add a lift kit, but would not mind a beefier tire option on my stock wheels. Can anyone help a noobie here with suggestions for a one size larger tire up to what's the largest the stock wheel and ride height can manage?

Thanks guys....

when I bought my '96 it had 235/75's on it. They worked fine.
Anything bigger will probably rub.

Yeah, 235 75's are what I have now. I bought the Jeep with them and they need replacing. I actually drive it more like a sports car on the street and for that reason don't want to raise the ride height much if at all...

You can fit 30x9.5's which are a every so slightly bigger than a 235-75. If your jeep only sees street use (and based on your description of your driving style) I'd recommend the 235's though since they have a smaller sidewall with a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza's.

Thanks for the info Matt, so you recommend the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas?

no rdplz

Yup. They're a good all season tire that still offer a good amount of dry pavement grip. Say what you want about it, but the Mazda CX-7 is pretty much the "sports car" of crossovers in regards to handling and there's a reason Mazda recommends the Alenzas for it.
