Default Tire sizes?

A guy a block from my house is having a garage sale and I noticed 2 really meaty offroad tires.
They're Spartans but the sizes are L78 I think.
I'm currently running 31x10.5x15 stock Cherokee wheels

The Spartans are for 15s too but I want to know if they're the correct sizing or not. He wants 25 a tire which I don't want a deal like that to slip away for what he says are brand new tires
I have the part time transfer case

I'm unsure about the size but I would suggest checking the manufacture date on them even though he says they are new. No sense in wasting any money on a old tire

it converts over to like a 235 75 15 maybe even a little smaller. dont think theyll work with 31s.

Damn. I was comparing the sizes and they were a couple cm off from my 31s but I guess I'll wait for new new tires.

Are you looking to rplwce the once you have now or mix and match? If mix in then it should be fine that's a good deal

My front 2 tires are pretty dead. My back 2 are decent. I was thinking about replacing the front 2 and leave the back 2 as is. But if they're a different size the second I drop it into 4wd my driveline was bind up because the different sizing. You know what I mean?

I was considering it. Like I said the tires are brand new. Theyre on 2 really rusted steelies that are 6 lug

But they're smaller. Maybe I'm mistaken but wouldn't have different sized tires in the front and back be the same thing as re-gearing one diff slightly and leaving the other one alone? The driveshafts wont be spinning at the same speed
