Where can I find 205/75/15 All terrain tires, stock size?

I dont know where you are., but most tire shops in nw Arkansas keeps them in stock

Some brands won't have that size in an agressive all-terrain, you will be limited to a P rated mud & snow. You may have better luck if you choose a 215/75/15, 225/75/15. These sizes can be found in an LT rated tire for more agressive all-terrain. They will fit with no risk of rubbing, or loss of fuel milage. A lot of people put on 235/75/15 as well with no rubbing.

they sell a 29" super swamper that fits a stock zuke with no rubbing at all. I paid about $90 for each. THe only negative is that they are very soft so they won't last for alot of road use.

I've also gotten great result from basic road tires with a side lug.

Wonder if you could get some tires like the old army vehicles had on them, like the willys jeep.  I know you can get them, my buddys uncle, years ago, got a set for his wrangler, and that thing would go ANYWHERE with those, and the road noise wasnt TOO bad, as far as off road tires go!!

I been looking to see if anyone makes a tire like that for a stock samurai wheel, no dice thusfar.

We got some of the military tires but they only had 16's at that shop. THey do work really good.

I bought my tires at Costco at the best price I could find. I've been running 215/75R15 BFG TA/KO all-terrain tires on my Samurai for over 4 years.  Initially with stock suspension, but in the last couple of years I've added OME springs (and softer Gabriel shocks) for better ride quality -- a spousal request.  215's DO fit a stock suspension without rubbing.  Although I've read reports that even larger tires fit without rubbing, I've not tried them -- my tolerance for rubbing is zero.  You should plan & be prepared to pound flat the inner fender seams on a Samurai, if you need the best clearance possible and/or don't want to slice up your new tires. And 215's are spec'd to fit 5.5" OEM rims. TracKicks are widely reported to take 235's without modifications.

In a couple of years, when my 215's age out, I'll replace them with 235's or 30x9.5, probably the same brand/model, now that I've got a bit of additional lift from the OME springs and some HD 3/4" (3/8" lift) shackles. I've already got 7" rims for wider tires.   

I would love to get a cheap set of steel 16's and some milspec tires, that would be sweet, look cool too, those thin cupped out tires, take off the doors and go hit the trail, ima have to do it, when finances allow, anyone know what kind of vehicles of similar bolt pattern?  How much do you have those milspec tires for?? 

try coker tire, i think they carry those old style military tires

I checked into those tires, and apparently, those tires are horrible/dangerous on wet roads, so thats a nogo for me.  I have been looking into other alternatives, I have just made the jump from car to 4x4, whats up with tire sizes, they are weird, whats 700-15, 700mm tall/wide by 15" wheel size. how can I tell what sizes i could fit on a stock sammy?  here is an example, im curious about the 700-15, I think.

I did some googling, and I just didnt feel like I understood it, its not like a car, where someone says, the MAX you can go is, say, 205/45/zr15, that makes sense to me, this is just a bunch of symbols and numbers.

Thanks

General Tire makes the Grabber AT2 in the 205/75/15 size.
they are fairly good all terrain tires.

I have fit a 235/75/15 on a bone stock sammy with no rubbing. It was a all terrain that was about 50%.

With the OME springs and some bumper mount trimming/fender beating you can fit 30x9.50x15 no rubbing.

Full Stuff



If you look close you can see that the bumper ends are trimmed. Also the stock tube mounts have been cut off and relocated to the inner frame.

If your wondering about what the sizes mean you just need to look up a metric tire converter:

http://www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/tire_calculator/index.asp

The 235/75/R15 is around 28 3/4" depending on who makes them and is, as was mentioned earlier, about the largest you can go without lifting.

Bigzook:  Are those two piece wheels or just made to look like them?

so when a tire says 700-15 whats the 700 mean, I am assuming the 15 is the wheel size

235/75/R15

235 is the width in mm at the widest point of the tire.

235mm / 25.4 = 9.25" Wide

75 is the percentage of the width that the sidewall is from rim to the exterior of the tire.

9.25 * 75% = 6.9" Tall

R15 is a 15" rim size.  So:

6.9" + 6.9" (For both top and bottom of the tire) + 15" (Size of the rim) = 28.8" Tire Height.

Or if you want a single script:

((235/25.4) x 2) + 15 = 28.8
