Decisions, decisions on brand and size

[dude1116]

I gotcha well I'm going to look into 265 70's, I didn't realize the extra width would clear very well. I found a set of MOAB's locally on craigslist decided to get them and will be powder coating them black instead of the factory 17's I have now.

Moabs and 265-70-16 work great

I am running this...but be prepared to lose an average 2-3mpgs from stock tires, running stock gears.

Today I calculated 17MPGs on my last tank. That's a BIG deal as of late. I've been averaging between 14.5 and 16 with 265/70/16 Load Range D2 tires. Prior to the tires I was averaging 17-18 mixed, 19-21 highway.

This is how they look:

Looks really good! Do you have any front or rear straight on pics I'm trying to get an idea of how wide the tires look compared to the 245/75/16's I had on my renegade. I'm not overly concerned with the MPG my old renegade only got like 13 average. My wife's KJ is still stock running 235's so if I need MPG we can take hers haha.

If he doesn't I have front pics of mine with Moabs and 245-75-16s, 255-70-16s, 265-70-16s and 265-75-16s
Yes have ran them all :icon_lol:

this is why you use the correct backspacing on wheels so you can stuff them when off road, was checking to see how much bumpstop I was going to run

That's a good price! Pepboys sells the Discoverer H/Ts but don't see an RTX listed. They seem like an upgrade based on price over the Adventurers that they also sell. They have the H/Ts for about 140 per tire but also buy 3 get one free. That for a stock size and doesn't include m/b/install. Googled them and they have a nice looking tread design. Look similar to the Kelly Safari ATRs I just got.

Here's a pic in this thread:

Guess they aren't a new design but I haven't seen them around.
