Biggest Tires on STOCK 1998 Explorer

Question:

 I have a 4 door base model with the 15×7 rims.  What is the tallest and or widest tire anyone hear has succesfully used?  I have heard of people moving up in size and the vehicle shakes and shimmies too much for them.  Any suggestions? Thanks-  Matt

Response:

Yeah i spent quite a while researching on this topic…. I finally came down to one size 30×9.5×15. I have a set and they’re doin fine….. only downside is steering feels a little stiffer… well that would happen in any truck/car anywaz. Go for the BFGoodrich All-Terrains, Pirelli Scorpion AT or Michelin AT LTX…. Michelin is the best of them all…. * Sent from AltaVista http://www.altavista.com Where you can also find related Web Pages, Images, Audios, Videos, News, and Shopping.  Smart is Beautiful

Will these fit on a 15X7 rim?  I am noting an aftermarket 15X7 Pomona rim. Nothing expensive but I sure think it looks MUCH better than thos stock rims.  Thanks for any info! -Matt
