Go ahead of time and they can order you any size you want. I priced 33x12.50 MTR's there (not stock but they will oder them 4 you. For a highway radial they will have 31-32 in stock

Will a 31-32 fit a stock wheel, though?

Yea, just dont go to wide. Height should not matter on a rim. It's the width that matters. There are guys in my club running 12.50 on 8" rims, so I would think a 31x10.50 would be fine on a stock rim. There was a thread a while back on tire to rim width issues. But I di not remember what the thread name was.

A 10.5 should be on an 8" rim, I have a tyre size/rim size selector guide on my site 'borrowed' from BFG. The  recommendations vary very little from one manufacturer to another.

I think I started one a few weeks ago... I just like to ask the same questions over and over again ;)

I might just look into getting a set of 8" wheels and put my 33x12.50's on them... might be cheaper.

How wide are stock Ford F-150 wheels?

That sounds about right, my 2.0 is around that at 70 moh, maybey a little less, but not much in 5th gear.  It's just a normal 5 speed, nothing vacuum operated or anything. ;D   Dave

    If it's the original steel wheels can you go with 235-75-15?'s  It's taller than the original tires, narrow enough to fit, and somewhat cheap compared with 31's.  Just a thought.   ::)  Dave

I'm not following somthing here.  Your Speedo to tach ratio in any given gear isnt going to change just by changing tire size unless your changing your speedo gear (and if you are where are you getting it?).  Or are you clocking yourself with another car or somthing.

I'm just concerned about how many RPM's I'm getting with stock gearing/stock tires at 65mph... just a little unnerving after driving it around at about 2500rpm for the last 5 or 6 months... :-/

Lol, I think we spend enough without any encouragement. How many of us have sold on almost new wheels and tyres cos we decided we wanted bigger ::) ;D ;D

O.k. , a bit off topic, but I had a question. When I climb steep hills (like last night) I get back on the highway after and my engine runs 3 times better than it did going out to the trails. What is with that? It's like my engine is not even broken in...

On a side note though, I'm pretty sure that none of the previous owners ever dropped the Kick into 4x4 once.

Mine does the same thing when I get off the highway when I've been running all out for a few miles.  Ive always figured the hotter temps in the combustion chamber from working the engine hard clean some of the carbon deposites out making it run better.  My tracker also seems to run better when the check engine light is on...... go figure.....
