There is a size you can use that is a little larger than the 235-75-15. The 235-75-15 is supposed to be 28.9" in diameter. I run 7.00-15. They measure about 29.5+" in diameter. Some people don't like narrow tires, but these have good tread for mud. The ones I have are discontinued, but the CO-OP sells the size in a Grip Spur. Or at least they do in TN. They are an aggressive directional nylon belted heavy duty tire. They are probably designed for farm work, but they made a world of difference on my tracker. Also, at the present time, I have no lift of any kind and they don't rub even at full steering wheel lock.

I haven't done a Search, but I thought I've read some recent posts where there are people out there running 30x9.5 on stock wheels with no lift.  Was I reading that wrong ???

I know I read that people have run 30x9.5 on the stock rims and that I read in a 4x4 magazine recently that they consider 4" wider than rim width the max tire width they'd use (9.5 works fine on our 5.5" rims then).  But, I'm not positive about the "no lift" part.
