235/75R15 tires

235/75R15 is about 29 inches tall and has been on trucks for half a century. It was the 4x4 size on the 1998 to 2011 Ford Ranger, the S-10 4x4, the 1995 to 2005 Chevrolet Blazer and the GMC Jimmy, and the Nissan Frontier S and XE kept it into the 2010s. For classic-truck owners it is the radial that fits the K5 Blazer, the early Bronco and the Jeep CJ-7 Renegade. Below are real prices for 272 tires in stock and three all-terrain picks.

What 235/75R15 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $448 to $544, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

The classic replacement for bias-ply 15s

Many trucks and big cars of the seventies and eighties left the factory on bias-ply tires with letter sizes, and 235/75R15 is the radial most owners use in their place. Tiresize.com lists it on the 1977 Ford Bronco, the 1980 to 1990 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4, the 1986 CJ-7 Renegade, the 1987 C10 pickup and the 1991 Grand Wagoneer, while other years of the same models used 225/75R15. On a restored vehicle that will be judged, a radial is not period-correct; on one that is driven, it is safer and rides better than a reproduction bias-ply.

The size fits 15-inch wheels from 6 to 8 inches wide, and it turns about 699 times per mile, close enough to the old letter sizes that the speedometer stays near true.

Passenger-load or LT: two kinds of 235/75R15

Two constructions are sold in this size. The extra-load passenger version is marked around 108 or 109. The light-truck version, marked LT with a dual index such as 104/101 and load range C, has a stiffer casing for heavier work. Our budget pick is stocked as the LT version and the Falken as the passenger-load version. On a compact pickup or SUV the passenger-load tire is the right default; the LT tire makes sense for a truck that carries heavy loads or a classic that runs high pressures.

Many owners upsize to 31x10.50R15 or 30x9.50R15. Both need more fender room, and the 31 is roughly two inches taller.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 235/75R15 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 75 percent of that (about 6.9 inches tall), and it mounts on a 15-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 28.9 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.

In this size our picks are marked 104/101Q on the Ironman All Country A/T (1,984 lb per tire as a single, 1,819 lb in a dual fitment, rated to 99 mph), 109T on the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W (2,271 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 108T on the Goodyear Wrangler ArmorTrac (2,205 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Ironman All Country A/T, $174.96. An all-terrain with large tread blocks and open shoulders, from a brand sold through American Tire Distributors. In this size the stocked version is an LT tire marked 104/101Q, with a 460 treadwear grade in a representative size, and the retailer does not list the snow symbol for it.

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, $174. The all-terrain to buy for a Ranger, Blazer or Frontier that sees snow: it carries the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol and, in this 109T passenger-load size, a 65,000-mile warranty. The LT version of the same tire in this size carries 60,000 miles.

Goodyear Wrangler Radial, $137.97. Goodyear sells two Wrangler all-terrains in this size, and the listing can be either: the Wrangler Radial with raised white letters, a 300 A B treadwear grade and no mileage warranty, and the Wrangler ArmorTrac with a 50,000-mile warranty. The white-letter Radial suits a period truck; the ArmorTrac is the one for mileage.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Ironman All Country A/T, our budget pick here at $174.96, is also stocked in 245/75R16 ($183.96), 225/75R16 ($173.96), 245/70R16 ($171.96) and 255/70R16 ($133.96). The Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, our mid-range pick here at $174, is also stocked in 30x9.50R15 ($220), 265/65R17 ($247.96), 265/70R16 ($226) and 265/75R16 ($241). Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a pickup in this size

Four-wheel-drive pickups satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.

Of our picks in this size, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W carries the 3PMSF symbol; the Ironman All Country A/T does not.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 235/75R15 tires cost?

Expect $90–$112 per tire for a budget brand, $112–$136 for a mid-range tire like the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and $136–$196 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Wrangler ArmorTrac. A set of four therefore starts at about $360. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 235/75R15 tires?

235/75R15 is original equipment on Ford Ranger 4x4 (1998-2011), Chevrolet S-10 4x4 (1994-2004), Chevrolet Blazer (1995-2005), GMC Jimmy (1995-2001), Jeep Cherokee XJ (1997-2001, optional), Nissan Frontier (2005-2021, S 2WD), Ford Bronco (1966-1977, early Bronco), Jeep CJ-7 (1976-1986), Jeep Grand Wagoneer (1984-1991), Jeep Wagoneer (1963-1983), Chevrolet K5 Blazer (1973-1991, stock size), Chevrolet C10 (1973-1987, L78-15 equivalent), Chevrolet Impala (1971-1976), Cadillac DeVille (1965-1976), Cadillac Eldorado (1971-1978), Buick Riviera (1971-1973), Pontiac Bonneville (1971-1976) and Dodge D150 (1972-1993), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.

What is the best 235/75R15 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Wrangler ArmorTrac is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country A/T is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 235/75R15 tires?

On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
