Tire size ideas?

You can run big tires in the rear and small up front and just keep one big spare tire with you... then if you have a flat up front then you can just take the flat tire/wheel off and put it in the back seat, then replace your other front tire with your big wheel/tire spare. You can drive it off of the trails like that on just the 3 big wheels/tires. And if you have a flat on one of your rear tires, just replace it with the spare. Or you could run all the same size tires like you said. :-) I used to run 31" truck tires on the rear and stock wheels/tires up front.

a lurker becoming a more frequent poster.... just trying to help where i can...

in my past experience i had the best handling and overall driveability with either a 245/60r-15 or a 235/70r-15 on the rear's and a 'std. 165/50r-15 on the front. that size on the rears with a 8-10" wide std. 'white spoked' steel wheel was only about 1/2" taller than the std. 165's usually run on the rears... so this kept the gear ratios within reason- one time i ran some

31" truck tires and quickly changed that out... whoa! not good-

to fully expose my checkered v.w. past... starting with my first..
