Stupid 15" tire question for my 85

[ZPDFJ]

The 85 I am buying has 15X10 inch wheels. I am looking for some 33"s for it and I don't know if I have to buy 33"x10x15 or can I buy 33"x10.5x15 or 12?

I know it's dumb, I am not seein a lit of M/Ts that are 10s.

Im not even sure what the bolt pattern is for older p/u. The newer Toys I have had were 6x5.5.

Another dumb question. If I have 4.88s and 35" tires now I would gain power back with 33"s I am assuming or should I keep 35"s with 4.88. I will be driving on the street about 70% of the time.

Thanks for any help!

33x12.50's would be fine. Bolt pattern is 6 on 5.5
I had 36's with 4.88's and it was a little sluggish on the hwy.
Also depends on how fresh the 22 is.

You probably don't want anything skinnier than a 12.5 tire on a 10 inch rim, You can do 10.5's but they would want to push off easier on the trail...

yep...........12 or 12.5 will be fine

The tire spec sheet on the manufacturers website will tell you the recommended wheel width size. Generally, you want your tire 1.5-2.5" wider than your rim for best mounting/low pressure performance.

4.88 with 33s should put your speedo back close to correct. In other words, it will be fine and certainly much better than 4.88 with 35s.
