Well, I am staying with the 30x9.5x15s for now, over the course of the year, I will start ordering my new wheels, and if all goes well, new tire size and wheels next year.

Bigger heavier taller tires do chew into MPG's, if that is a concern.

Then again the fast reading Speedo makes mpgs appear artificially high.
My phone's GPS agrees with those radar signs and my Speedo, with the 30x9.5's at both 30 and 65mph.

With the 31's our GMC is doing 60 or 61 and only reading about 55. Checked against the GPS.
The odometer is off by about 10%. 100 miles will read out at about 90 miles.

Went with a new set of 30x9.50x15s for now, speedo is spot on and it rides great. . . .now I just have to get some sound deadener to help get rid of the “interior of a gas can” sound it has while driving on a bumpy road. LOL

I know this thread is old, but is your van stock? I was thinking about doing the same thing with my 91 g20

My van is stock as far a suspension goes, and I am using factory 15x7 steel wheels with 30-9.59-15 tires. Does that answer your question Kanon8 ?
