    Tire size for 4 seat prerunner?

    I am wondering what size tire I can get away with on the front of our prerunner both height and width, I am not asking about clearance just what size can it handle as far as mass goes. I will figure out wheel and tire combo's that clear based on the info I get.

    Its a beam front with Fodril 8" arms and King Kong spindles on king coils. I currently have some 30/7-15 on the front but they drop into every small washout in the roads around here. I would like to go to bigger tire with a better roll over so I dont drop into as many holes.

    I plan on running the same size rear given I can get a decent size tire on the front, I looked at class 12 cars but they are all over the place.

    Thanks,

    Terry

    I was looking at the 33/12.5-15 General Grabbers, how would these work?

    I run the Mickey Thompson baja pros in 33x9 on the front of my baja, similar front end set up, but I'm thinking you have 4" arms. The supper diggers are great too.

    I am not 100% on the arms, they are 10" center to center. We just bought the car about a month ago and I am trying to update to a more modern look and wheel/tire combo. Where can I find the MT, thats whats on the rear.
