New Tires

SmokeeJay · 07-10-2007, 10:26 AM

I am getting some new tires this weekend and have been trying to decide what size to go with. I currently have the stock swirlies w/ 235-70-15 tires on my 01 Blazer 2wd 2dr with a 3/4 drop. I am going to go with a 60 series tire, but should I go with a 225/60 or 235/60? I have done some research and found that:

235/70/15 = 28" diameter
235/60/15 = 26.1 diameter
225/60/15 = 25.6 diameter

I want to make sure the tire fills up the fender well nicely. Advice?

Thanks,

J

heres mine with a 225/60/15

i think i am going with the 225/60's. i had them on the back of my 99 s10 with a 3/4 drop and they looked pretty good. thanks for the pic and tip.

i have been trying to talk my wife into letting me do at least a 5/5. i have plenty of tire clearance now. we will see what happens at tax time. i am either going to buy a lot of new stuff for the blazer, or buy a 97 ss s10 to work on. the blazer is my daily driver and i drive 40 miles one way to work each day. i dont want it to be too rough.
