Re: looking to see some pics of Jeeps with 30X9.50-15
I can do ther math -- but I'm not going to -- to see if 30s and 235s
are the same, but you are mixing apples and oranges here.
30 is the diameter, 235 is the width.
When a tire is listed as 235/75x15, they mean that the tire is 235
wide, and 75% of that is sidwalll, and it all fits on a 15" rim.
The formula is <width -- 235> * <aspect ratio -- 75> * 2 / 25.4
(convert mm to inches) + <rim size -- 15>
PS, the max you can stuff under your YJ is a 31x10.50, and it will only
rub when your suspension is fully flexxed. A 30x9.50 will fit with no
worries.

Re: looking to see some pics of Jeeps with 30X9.50-15
For sizes of BFGs A/T-KOs you can check directly:
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/asset...rain_ta_kd.pdf
The 235/75R15s are 29.0 inches tall, and the 30x9.50R15s
are 29.5.
On my 87 YJ I went with 235s, they were in stock. The 30x9.5s
would have taken a week to get. The price was the same.
