bigger than stock tire sizes.

Postby NYPathfinder » Mon Jul 18, 2011 2:26 pm

I'm looking to make a step up in tire sizes. I have the factory size 265/65/17's on the pathy now. I've seen people using 285/70/17 with not much issues. Has anyone used a slightly taller tire? like perhaps a 285/75 instead of 285/70? I would like a taller tire if anything. 285 is fine for the width.

Interestingly enough, I actually saw a thread over on clubfrontier.org about try 255/75/17's that may be of some interest.

I'm interested in hearing what others on here have to say about that.

I have a 08 SE 4x4 running 265/70r17 and I would not run anything bigger with out a lift. My 265/70 are BFG A/T that have a heavy side wall tread so the edges of the tire come in close with trim when full compresson of the front tires.
