i've been searching for a long time and i can't find something. in my state, you are only allowed two tire sizes over mfg. recommendations. problem is mine came with 215's but i'm pretty sure some came with bigger tires than that, possibly the country version? does anyone have any data on the largest tire size offered by jeep for the xj from the factory?
Thanks

Most I have seen have had 225/75R15. 235/75R15 is a good size.

I bought mine with 235's on it, but I think 225's were the largest stock option.

225/70R16 or 225/75R15 are the biggest listed in the 2000 FSM.

235 is listed on the glove panel of my comanche i believe, it may be 225 though.

Mine lists 215/75/15, and 225/75/15 somewhere- sticker on the door, I think. Time for a set of "inspection tires"?

I think the 97 and newer came stock with 225s and 235s were an option.

Have the Militia drag the freakin' idiots out of your government offices and hang them, then run whatever size tires you want.

Wolves or sheep?

According to the Standard Catalog of 4x4's (up to 1993), the biggest tire option on an XJ was 225/75/15. Wranglers got up to 29x9.6x15, if the law is not model specific. That's a terrible law.

If not model specific, rubi's came with 265's......but it probably is.

Isn't it also kind of vague as what really constitutes a tire "size". Does this limit you to the common metric sizes? How do you go to inch sizes?

Sounds like a pretty harsh state law. Out here we have bumper height requirements, IIRC it's 27" in the front, 29" in the rear as measured from the pavement. As long as you cover the tires well with fender flares and mud flaps, they don't hassle you about tire size.

Maine sucks...
