i have been putting off getting tires for my 03 EB for about 6 months now because i cant afford them. Anyway, we were up in the woods getting our tree and i picked up a flat, no big deal. found a level spot and changed it out for the spare. i noticed about half an inch of difference between the spare and flat. (guess i forgot to rotate it in) but any ways i was lookingat some taller tires. i have 245/64R17 has anyone used a 235/80 (31.8) , 245/75 (31.4) or 255/75 (31.9) Will a 32 inch tire fit? i dont really want a 265 but i do want a bit more clearance off road. also does anyone have a recomendation for a good CHEAP tire in one of these sizes? thanks
 






I have 255/70/17 (31")on mine. 31" is as big as you can go with stock suspension without scrubbing. My also came with 245/65 stock.

I can't say if they would be considered "cheap"..but I'm a big fan of Cooper ATR's ...on the lower priced end I would say either a Uniroyal Crosscountry or a General Grabber HTS.
