235-75-15 or 30-9.50-15 on stock suspension, stock size wheels, BFG AT TAs for all around performance.

I'm a believer in premium tires for the street. If you're gonna do a lot of offroad, muddin', rocky trails and such, maybe something else.

I had Uniroyal Laredos on my '86 F150 4wd and they were great for the first year. After that they must have gotten hard, because they would slip and slide on a wet road. I pulled 'em off and went with BFGs and they were still excellent 5 years later. I have Coopers on my '98 F150 2wd and they sucked from new. The OE Firestones were better at 72k when I replaced 'em!

I've had Goodyear Wranglers (OE), BFG Touring TAs, Firestone Destination LEs and now another set of Wranglers on my '96 XJ and the first (3) sets all went 50-53K each and still seemed to grip on a wet road despite old, worn tread.

If you're gonna wait until AFTER you're lifted, go for 31-10.50-15. 30-9.50-15s may fit with stock suspension if its not sagging too much. You won't find much difference in price between 235-75, 30-9.50 and 31-10.50.

Snow in Chattanooga? LMAO!

agree go atleast 30x9.50 and usually tire height is a little smaller than what they have on there not all 31x10.50 are exactly 31s
