Tire suggestions for lifted 86 suburban

[88suburbanoverlan]

Hey guys, need some help picking out tires for my truck. I’m running 35s right now but was going to swap out my leaf springs for a few extra inches of lift. I’m thinking I will be running about 8 to 10 inches of lift total.

As my truck sits now with what I estimate to be a 6 to 8 inch lift the 35s leave something to be desired with the size so just wondering if anyone has a cost-effective option for bumping up in size.

I love the look of the 40 inch tires but it seems like there’s a big price jump going from 37 inch to 40 inch so if anyone has any suggestions that won’t break the bank I’d really appreciate it. Ideally drive this truck so I don’t want to be replacing tires so often and need some thing that performs daily Highway use and that won’t get stuck on oil rig trails in the mud.

I’m not sure on my rim size but I think it’s a 15 inch rim and I was planning on keeping those for now and maybe doing some slot drilled chrome wheels in the same size later

I need suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Tires for 15" wheels are becoming harder and harder find. Interco has a blem list of discounted tires but you have to purchase what's available, when available. If you can find a tire shop that wont charge an arm and a leg you can buy tires cheaper on ebay or amazon than your tire shops. I bought a set of 33x12.50x15 mud tires off amazon for like $700 and when calling around to get them mounted (on brand new wheels I also bought online) some places wouldn't touch them because I didn't purchase from them and a mom and pop place wanted $400 to mount/balance.
