Tire Size?

[99ExplorerXLT]

I just Bought a '99 Explorer XLT V8 AWD. My old 4x4 was a 1989 full size bronco with 3inch lift and 33inch BFG all terrains. I love my new explorer but the stock tire size is quite wimpy. Without changing the stock rims, which I really do like, or adding a lift kit, does anybody have any suggestions for BIGGER tires and what brand???

Thanks,
Frank

I should really tell you to use the search function...But most people can fit 31's quite easily....oh yeah use the search function

Brandon's right, 31s are the biggest you can go without any lift, and they may even rub without lift. For $50 though you can get 2" lift and for sure fit those 31s and possibly fit 32s with trimming.

There are many threads on this topic, hunt around the board a little. Also look into "torsion twist" "add a leaf" and "warrior shackles" for small suspension lift options.
