98 Taco biggest tire ??

Hello.. I have a 98 reg cab 2.7 auto 4x4. I want to replace the stock 15" tires with a bigger 31x10.50 15. Will this work with a stock suspension and is it going to kill my performance and mileage? I know i have 4:56 gears. I don't want to do more harm than good. If i do need a lift for this what is the smallest i can go with? Thanks

 

15" is the diameter of the wheel.

You can put on 31x10.5 r15 tire with no lift and your truck will have no problem moving them. The drop in fuel economy will be negligible (depending on what size tires you're running now).

 

Stock suspension, stock gearing. 31/10.50/15's fit easy. Especially if you have 4.56 gearing.

 

Cool.. looks just like mine except mine is white. Now i just have to figure out which tire. I am looking at GY Duratracs. What are your thoughts? Thanks

 

I have Cooper Discoverer S/ST's. Great tires. They hold traction in snow/ice to the SLOPPIEST mud.

 

*S/T not S/ST

 

Those look like a good choice too. I like the look.

 

Great tires. Highly recommend them.

 

i see a lot of BFG a/t's
pretty reliable tire IMO. they have lasted me about 3 years so far and I don't get my alignment done like i should nor do i rotate my tires and i still got tons of tread left.

 

265/75/16's on stock suspension and stock wheels, only rubbed frame at full lock and when stuffed and turned. Now it has 285/75/16 on 5100/custom rear leafs and spidertrax spacers to clear the UCA's. No frame rubbing but I need to trim...

 

so do you want the biggest tire or you just want to put on another 31" tire?

31" tire is factory size so it wouldnt effect anything much

 

I want the biggest tire my 2.7 auto will turn without a big reduction in power and economy. I also don't want to get into doing anything more than a spacer type lift. I have 235 75 15 tires now and i figured going to 31 10.50 15 tires would be a good choice but if i can go a little bigger that would be cool too. Thanks

 

Max I would run on stock would be 32" tires. I clear my 31" tires with plenty of room. Anything higher than 32" I would assume would rub.

 

I have a 98 and it cleared 31s without a problem before the lift

 

Ok.. looks like i will try 32s with a small lift and i should be ok. Thanks
