Why does everyone stick with stock tire sizes when going to 8.5 front and 9.5 rear? 225 is the MINIMUM tire width for an 8.5, and 265 seems more appropriate for a 9.5" rim.
Is it some sort of clearance issue?
Obviously going from 225->235 or 255->265 and keeping the sidewall ratio is going to increase the sidewall a tiny bit (3.5-4mm), but honestly, I feel like my tires could use some more sidewall.
I've got 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears, and the previous owner transferred his stock spec tires (Dunlop Star Specs) over to them when he got them. I'm looking to get new tires, and I was planning on increasing tire width by 10mm, but I'm a little concerned by the amount of people on here sticking to stock tire specs.
