I've got Toyo A/T's (P235/75R15) on my X now and want to fill in the wheel wells a little more. I was going with Yokohama AVID S/T's in 255/70R15 but don't want to lose offroad capability. I'm going to be getting the same tire, just in a larger size. Is there any benefit to having 31" tires over the 30"'s? Thanks......
 






About a year ago i bought myself some 31's. I said to myself i will never lift my truck anymore than it already is. I said im not waisting my money getting these. Now a year has passed. I have lifted my truck 3 MORE inches and now my 31's are just to small. So my question to you is, are you sure you want 31's? Or are you gonna winde up doing a BL in the future and needing 33's. Thats what has happened to me. Just warning you. But to answer YOUR Question. I would say go with the 31's. Why not. They are bigger, look better, and give you just a little bit more clearence..
 






31's. give u an extra 1 1/2" of clearance w/o the lift
