I'm getting new tires and will probably go with 235/75R15 which is slightly taller and less expensive then the original size 235/70R15. Do you see any problem with this? Thanks..

 

I have been told that the 235/75 is too tall and will rub, the 235/70 is a better fit. However, from what I have seen it looks like rubbing is limited to full lock or possibly on severe bumps when you have close to full compression on the front suspension. I currently have a set of mismatched tires on mine. 75s in the rear, 70s in the front. Haven't gotten around to replacing them with a matched set yet, but will happen soon I hope. For my driving which is just around town, I think the 75s would be fine, especially if it results in decent savings. I found the same thing when I was looking for tires last year. Bigger selection and cheaper tires in the 75 series.

 

I'm not sure about being in 2WD form, but my 4WD had 235/75R15's on it stock. I bumped them up to a 30" set with no rubbing problems at all.

 

the 75s might not rub too much, your speedo will prob be off about a mile or two.

 

I have had my 93 le 4x4 for less than a week now and love it. And I too have the 235/75/R15 and have experienced nothing but smooth handling and performance.

 

I had a set of 235/75r15's on my 88 2wd and they rubbed a lil bit when I turned but then I took a hammer to the bottom of the fender a lil bit and it never rubbed again. but I noticed a big difference in power and gas milage so I went back to a smaller tire.
