Hello Ray,

You seem very knowledgeable on Explorer's. Thanks again for your TIRE help but I have another question if you dont mind me asking you out. Is your 97 XLT stock height? I looked at the pics in the Hollister Hills Run and it looks sweet! But I thought it looked raised or did the tires just give it that raised look?

Thanks for the help again and hope I am not a pain....

Heather =)

Hi Heather,
My XLT is stock Height. I just bought it 2 months ago, traded in my 95XLT. It just looks alittle higher because of the tires. Dead Link Removed
It will get raised as soon as somebody gets a kit together, or if I come up with enough money to have a custom kit done.

OK before I go to TUCKER TIRE tomorrow and purcahse my new 31x10.5x15's I wanna know if there is anything else I should be worrying about? Do I need to get my Explorer aligned again? Anything like that please let me know.
Take care,

Heather =)
 






Ray,

Thanks for all your help so far sweetie! Could you email me some pictures of your Explorer? I would love to get a good look at what the 31's look like before I buy them. 2 of the Tire Stores I went to didnt want to sell them to me because they were worried they wouldnt fit, I hate being a girl sometimes...I know if I had some good pictures they would believe me.

Please put your name in the subject so I dont delete it, I throw out trash email constantly.

Thanks again for your help sweetie, I will return your pics with some of mine if you wish.

Heather =)
 






Ray,

The tires are on and they look awesome! I decided to go with the Savera Swampers 31x10.5x15's. I was gonna get the BFG AT's but when I saw the look of the Savero Swampers I was completely turned on, hehe! The look awesome and I will try to get some pictures to Rick and maybe he could feature my Explorer after I do a little more to it?

Thanks again sweetie!

Heather =)
 






Hi Heather,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, but was on vacation up in the mountians. I would like to see your tires. Can you send Rick a picture to post on the board? Dead Link Removed How's the noise factor on your tires? Oh and having your alignment checked isn't a bad idea since it's already on the rack.
changing tire sizes only affects your speedometer, odometer. You can take it to a speedometer shop and they can recalibrate it for you. It should cost you less than $30.00 or so. Dead Link Removed I had it done on my 95, but the shop that I went to is no longer in business, so I have to look for a new place to go. Right now I'm off by about 6 MPH on the slow side.

Yes i want to check out the old threads:D Thanks alot
 






My only guess is it is an archived thread so it does not have post data on it.
 






Domo arigato, Mr Lobato...

You're off by 6 at lower speeds? That doesnt sound right... not for 31s anyhow. More like 2-3 under 40ish, and over 4+ once you get into the high 50s or 60s.
