Those tires sizes seem a lot more reasonable for a stock four-cylinder. I have probably about 20,000 miles of tread left in the current tires, but the acceleration and mileage is so poor, I may consider an early switch.
I've found a few 4-ply (standard load) 15 inch tires that are only seven inches wide and are each about 10-15 pounds lighter than the average 31x10.5 load range C tires I've looked at. I also have a full sized spare, so that could cut 10 pounds of sprung weight and 10 pounds of unsprung.
Don't narrower tires usually work better in shallow mud and snow anyway?
