Hey I've got a 99 2dr, 4x4, 15x5.5 rims.

I just got new tires in Nov.
I bought 225/70-15 Kumho Road Venture A/T's
They are great in the snow, rain and mud.


No problem rubbing at all. Actually still the same diameter just wider.

Bob there are tons of rim styles out there in 16 inch. What are you looking for? I Stare at rims all day that would fit zuks and think how they will look. I work for american racing. I'm the sales rep for utah idaho montana. So if you need to find a good deal on rims let me know?

I have been running 225-75R15 Dunlops on my stock rims on my 96 Tracker for three years now.  No lift, and no problems with rubbing.  I run 30psi on the highway and air down to 12 psi for the trail.  

We have made a few trips pulling a small camper.

I have had no problems with them.

I own the exact tracker

steelies not tha alloy 15x5.5

I run 235/75/15 and they fit fine
(a little rub on full extention)

the nice thing about running 235's or 30x9.5 (almost the same size)
is they buldge a bit and you have a bit more rim protetction

I run a really aggressive a/t tread and just with those tires I havent had any problems wheeling simply and in our deep candian snow

I run down to 21psi in the winter, and up to 28 in summer

I know the cooper stt's fit on my truck but the BFG a/t's seemed to rub more due to their shoulder lock (not much offset with our rims)

I suggest you look at the Continental AT2 (general grabber at2) or the new cooper STT

they are really aggressive AT's which will give you decent road and offroad performance

I run 235/75/15's on the stock 15x5.5 X-90 rims with no problem.
If you want to save money on tires check out these Liberator AT's at Walmart.com for around $53 each for the 235's. I am on my second set, they are made by BF Goodrich I have been told, and walmart ships to your local store for free.

Hey, how many mile did you get out of your set of Liberators?  I'd like to add here also about the Cooper STT's, I have the AT's and am really really happy with them.  I think I already said that on page one, but hey, I'll say it again ;D they're great tires, and so far are wearing like iron, I run them |removethispart|@28 lbs on the road.  Have fun,
Dave ;D

Well I didn't wear em out, had em on since 11/03 but they were 225/75's and I wanted to go bigger, they still had lots of tread on em when I got the bigger 235's on last week.

I was looking at tirerack.com and the highest rated allterrain tire is the Bridgestone Dueler REVO.



I think they are like $100 US each (which means for 5 will cost around $700 Canadian) plus taxes (15% over here).

I figure that these tires on stock rims (plus maybe a Calmini LSD or a locker) should make this a reasonably capable off road machine.  

What do you think about these tires?

The Bridgestone I have listed above come in 225/75-15, which I think is the size I should go for (without a lift)....plus Bridgestones are the tire of choice for 7-time world champion F1 drive Micheal Schumacher.

However...



These BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires are another option.  Even though they're M/T tires rather than A/T tires, and they come in 215's and 235's (but not 225's) it is still another option.  

So I wonder how are the BFG's on road?

On road, they might hum a little bit, a friend of mine had those same ones on a T-100, they do great off the black stuff and ok in the snow and rain.  At least for him.  HTH  Dave ;D

My tracker has 15" rims.  It bugged me that the GV (which I could have bought) may have signifigantly better brakes (obviously a bigger disc), but I gots what I gots and there aint no changin now.


Don't worry, you have the exact same brakes as the GV on your Tracker. I have a 2004 LT and it has 15s also.
These 15s almost seem to be custom for these trucks and yes they WILL fit on a GV. It's finding after market 15s that's the trick. I can understand sticking with the factory 15's.
15 inch rims from a old body style Trackick will NOT fit. The only exception is the Sidekick sport. Those rims (16s) may fit.

You're kidding me, if that is true it will be really annoying.  I had planned on getting 15x8 eventually with 2.5" - 3" backspacing.  I guess I may have to be very carefull picking out my rims.
