Tire Question

[CodePoet]

Hey all, i'm thinking about buying a set of rock crawlers and putting 30" tires on. The only problem is i'm only finding 30x9.5x15's I would like 30x10.5 or 12.5. Does anyone make these or the equavelent? I have no idea how to read metric tires so my searching is pretty limited. I tried the search function but couldn't really find anything, and didn't know what to look for anyway. Thanks alot for all the help...I would go with 31's but i'm afraid with my anorexic 3.27 gears it wouldn't be worth it. Thanks in advance

Super Swamper makes a 30x11.50

Dead Link Removed

There are actually quite a few options for 30" tires. Check out that site.

Thanks! I was looking on the tirerack website and couldn't find anything...I was getting nervous...I'm not sure that 9.5 inch tires would look all that good. Before I quit buggin everyone, will a 11.5 inch tire fit on the stock rim? Probably not, I can't remember the stock width. Anyway Thanks!!

Sorry for all the questions. I looked on the www.4wheepparts.com and I was noticing that the superswampers in that link actually have an outside diameter or 29.6, that's not much different that the stock ones. My new question is I found a set of pro-comp all-terrains (31's) that have in O.D. of 30.20". I only have 3.27ls gears, according to their chart i'll be fine with a 30" tire, but since there not a "true" 30" what would you do? I would like as close to a true 30" as possible. Do you all think that the Pro-Comp would be best? I'm leaning that way also since the Super Swamper TSL's might not be the best choice for a mostly street driven truck. The price is right also!
Thanks again for all your help guys, love the site....i'm going to become an elite explorer soon I think...

Stock is 7". ANd 11.50 is about the max that you can put on a 7". Actaully, quite a few people run 12.50s on 7s.. so an 11.50 would be better than okay.
