One of the on line tire places 1010tire or tires plus or somebody has a pretty big customer tire rating area. Yokohamas get good ratings - never owned em, but I would do a search and check it out - you can check most of the major brands.

People put comments in also - I stayed away from some Goodyears because a lot of people said they were sleds on ice.

Depends on what gen you are driving. I have a 99, 31 x 10.5's and had to trim just a little off off the skirt in front of the tire for clearance when I turn.

Not sure about the first gens.

You might head over to explorerforums.com and ask the question over there. There are a bunch of guys that have done lifts, axles, etc - some are running 35's on big lifts.

31x10.5 means that the tire stands 31 inches high ans is 10.5 inches wide. Good size for a 15 inch tire. I had this size on my previous trux. It was a 90 Isuzu Amigo
