What sizes will fit/won't rub?

[RageOfFury]

Doesn't look a whole lot different(compared to my Wrangler HPs 235/65R17), but if they improve stability and don't rub at all, then great I'll get that size(245/65R17).

Firestone Destination A/T 245/65R17 are 155.99 $CDN a tire which is very reasonable. I ain't paying 200$+ for Michelin or BFGoodrich that's for sure.

The difference IN PERSON is amazing, especially if you get a nice rugged looking white letter tire.

Like the Destination A/T OWL? drive.gif

Well if you guys are sure sure that 245/65R17 won't rub then I'll go with that size. I am leaning towards the Firestones, but I am still open to suggestions.

Oh, will going from 235 to 245 affect fuel economy?

The Fireston Destinations are a good looking tire, they would suit you the best for your driving conditions here in the city and out on the trail.

Gas mileage would be affected very much, probably wouldn't even notice it.

Great! Well I am planning on buying new tires sometime in October so I still have sometime to shop, but the Firestones are inexpensive, are one of the highest rated light truck tires on tirerack and they have A/T in the name which will satisfy the Quebec government. Can't get any better imo. Still open to suggestions though

Is that what you meant?

Yes...thank you.

What are your thoughts on the Nokian Vatiiva A/T tires? Thing is...it doesn't say A/T on the tire itself...or perhaps it does in fine lettering?

Hyedipen on here has them I believe. The tread is similar to the Dueler AT Revo....

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

There is only one BF Goodrich All Terrain KO, ThunderbirdJunkie would stay with the stock size of 235/65-17.

Just TBJHO

 

[HoosierJeeper]

I'll probably end up with these, 235/65/17


They also come in 245/65/17 and 245/70/17..

 

[RageOfFury]

This has been a very constructive back and forth! Thanks all(biggthumpup)

I will likely go with the Destination A/Ts...still not 100% sure on the whole 235 vs 245 thing though.:-k

I have an 02 kj lookin at gettin a O.M.E lift. Guys at JBA say i'll be able to 235/85/R16 if I hammer that pinch weld flat. With little or no rubbing so.... you may want to consider switching to 16s larger sidewall for crawling.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

ThunderbirdJunkie would not go 235/85-16 unless you've got other plans in addition to the springs.

 

[JLRockies]

I roll 235/85R16 in the greatest tire conceived by mankind on stock wheels. Lift, pinch welded and still rub on the sway bar at full turn. Non-aggressive girly tires may not rub though.

 

[texasman1383]

I have a 02. One thing I have been told by the people at JBA is if you flatten that pinch weld in the front fenders with 3" of lift you can fit 235/85/R16 so you may want to get a set of 16's.

I plan on running pro comp all-terrains. Think they will rub even with the lift. Dont know if it matter but also getting tubular uca's.

Super Swamper Boggers ? Didn't know they made 235/85/16

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Bogger=fail. MT/R=win

 

[texasman1383]

Anyone here running 235/85/R16 with a 3" lift? Any problems?
