TIRES FOR STOCK 94 WRANGLER
The 94 wrangler I just purchased has stock wheels and worn out street tread
tires. I need to buy new tires and am looking for advice. Vehicle will be
used primarily off road on a farm with muddy fields and heavily wooded
hills.Occasionally driven to town. Local tire store has 215/75R15 BFG Mud
Tread tires available. Any advice on which tires to purchase? Any advice on
size to get? For example what is the largest size that will fit on stock
wheels and still look ok? Also any advice on should I buy new larger wheels
and if so exactly what ones. I do not plan on lifting the vehicle and do not
want to cut any of the vehicle to make tires fit.

Re: TIRES FOR STOCK 94 WRANGLER
The BFG mud tires work really well. Tall skinny is the best for
traction in my opinion. I believe you can go up to a 30x9.5 with no
issues at all. I wouldn't go wider than P225/75's for the type of
driving you describe. We went from P225's to P235 AT's on our Cherokee
and lost a whole bunch of traction because of the width.
When I went from a 10.5" tire to a BFG mud 9.5" tire that actually
measures 7.5" on the tread on my CJ7 I gained a lot of traction and more
than 20 mph extra of stable snow covered road control.

Get 30x9.5's. Your Jeep will perform better in the mud and look better, too.
I had an 89 Wrangler and 30x9.5's will fit without any issues. You won't be
happy with 215/75R15's. They look goofy compared to beefy 30x9.5's.

Re: TIRES FOR STOCK 94 WRANGLER
Will these 30x9.5's fit on the stock wheels or would I be better off with a
wider wheel? If a wider wheel is better what do I need to know about wheel
offset?
