Baby got a new pair of shoes

Got my new tires tonight after work. I went from 255/60-15 & 275/60-15s to 31x10.50-15s all around. The new tires are about 3” taller. I went with Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme. It’s a load range C. I chose these because I need to occasionally pull an open trailer. The reviews I checked said the ride quality and road noise were good too.

The stance came out just the way I wanted. I went with a 1” drop coil in front and a 2” drop coil in back. Those were the least amount of drop I could get. Glad I didn’t go any lower.
I have about 1 1/2” from top of tire to fender in the front. I have about 3 1/2” in the rear.
Looks great to me. I will add air bags to the coils for towing. I pulled it outside, but it was too dark to see. I’ll have to check it out tomorrow when I get home from work.

Looking good. Love the stance. How'd they do in the snow?

I just backed out of my garage and back in, so not much of a test. They didn’t spin though. Lol.

Those tires look great! They fill the wheel wells nicely. Do you have any rubbing issues with this tire and wheel combination?

I turned the steering from lock to lock and there was no interference. The tops of the tire are tucked in, so I don’t think they’ll rub going over bumps. I do plan to add air bags to the coils in the front and the rear.

Looking good. What is the wheel width?
