                what's common for both?

                actually -- not to hijack - but since I will be getting lots of tires this year....

                what would be a good size for my 15's on my limestone?

                and the 16's on my blue station wagon? assume Goodyear or Bridgestone MT/R's

                thanks guys

                  225/70/16, 28.4"x 8.9",


                  for free- sure- why not? the original 88's tire size was similar to that used by the Willys jeep for example:




                  109s used 7.50 16s which were 31-32" tall, 6.00 16s were 28" tall. So as long as you have a decent weight rating anything inbetween these would be ok.

                  I've seen a LOT of 88s on 235-75-15s.


                  Most people prefer the taller tires like 33 9.50 15's.
