Tire Question

[Mad Texan]

Cooper tire lists several models in the 31x10.5x15 size. Discoverer S/T, Discoverer S/T Maxx, and Dicoverer A/T3.

Thanks! I will look into those. Local shops here don't have them. I found a few online but shipping costs are a deal breaker

There are several dealers listed in Abilene on Cooper's web site

I have Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac 31 x 10.5 x 15's on my M1009. I've never had a problem with the tires rubbing.
Your leaf springs may be the cause of your clearance issue. They're probably flattened out, which lowers the height of the body above the axles.

It really shouldn't matter what condition the springs are in. Once the axle hits the bump stop, the tires take up the same space whether they came from 0.5 or eight inches below.

Springs are fine. Low mileage truck. I'm shopping around tomorrow. Mesquite is the biggest hazard I have here. The Cooper are a great lead. Thanks!!
