Arr. NB is right, you need 265/
75
R15 to be the same as 31s. 265/70R15 is only 30" tall,
though as wide as a 31.

so, the moral is, if in doubt, always go that bit bigger

calculated size and actual size are two different things.
the tyres fitted to mine are 265/75/16 (kingpin mud tracker) and these measure 30" in diameter, claculated is 31.64
looks like i might need some bigger tyres
