I am interested in lifting my new Liberty. Based on what I have read, I am leaning toward Frankenlift. I have the 17" x 7.5" Aluminum Wheels and am wondering what tire options will be available. The posts I have read make recommendations for 16" tires but not for the 17" rims that come on the 2005 limited. Thanks, |

The 17s will work fine but the only problem is tire options. You are much more limited on the 17s than even the 16s. Just pick a tire that fits you needs for your area and the places you plan on taking your KJ. A good AT tires works in a lot of places. Hope that helps. Later...Clint |

He has a 2003 Liberty Fredom Edition with tthe 17" rims. Purchased bridestone Revo 265/65/17s. They seem to work well for him. Link below: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... highlight= |

Cooper tires is your answer. I too have 17 inch wheels. They have a moderate off road tire called an ST and a Goodyear MTR equivalent called an STT in 245/70R17s (just about identical in size to 245/75R16s). |

Just remember that MTR tires are Maximum Traction on ROCK. They probably wont do too much good in the east, as we have lots of mud, and the traction i hear sucks with MTR's in mud. |
