Sizing some Discoverer STT tires

[Spidy3203]

New to the fourms so be gentle....lol.

I am finally a proud owner of a '04 jeep liberty renegade. arty36:

Maybe i have just over looked some of the threads i just have not been able to find exactly what i'm looking for. I am looking to upgrade the tires to cooper discoverer stt. Atm i am not looking to lift my jeep just yet (i have a bit before i will be able to lift it). I love the stock 16" rims so i know i sticking with the stock rim for quit some time. I know the stock tires are P235/70/R16. For what i have found the discoverer stt tires do not come in that size. I would be willing to get bigger tires even if i had to backspace the tires. Or even bang out some pinch welds. I am open to any advice out there.

245-70s work well or any tire in that height
spacing the tires out will actually hurt you do to hitting more

Then there are the remoulded tires from TreadWright

$92.00


The only tires in a 245-70-16" are All Terrain tires.
But there are many different styles to choose from and one might just fit the
bill for you.



BTW, The prices I listed for the M/T tires I took right off of the tirerack.com website.
There might be more, best for you to check the various manufactures.

I have the Cooper Discoverer STT M/T (all 5) on my 04 Rene but 245/75/16 on the stock wheel. I have the OME lift so obviously that size would be too big.
I will say they are great tires, aggressive mud terrain tread and extremely good in mud and rain !!

If I understand you correctly, you think that 254-75-16's are too big with an
OME lift?
Not at all, sure you get a little rubbing here and there but those areas can be "massaged" to get rid of the rubbing.

No no no. I was saying if you DON'T have a lift, that size would be too big. I have 245/75/16 with an OME lift and I only have rubbing on full lock in reverse.
