Anyone have these or have any info about these? They got good ratings on tirerack.com, all in the high good range. Prices are cheap, $91-235/70R16 , $92-245/75R16, and $95-245/70R16. Which would look/work best on 2002 limited with stock wheels and no lift? Thanks in advance.

running 255-70X16s on Moabs I have over 28,000 and have about 8 to 9 /32 of tread left they are doing great Nice little tire hum going 35/45 but not MTR hum :wink: Mine should go 50,000 to 55,000 easy
I would run 245/70s you would have no problems at all ,

I've got about 20K on mine they seem to be holding up well -

FYI - I got 245/75/16 E's - and their sidewalls are no where near as strong as the MTR E's - I blew one at Moab - on the road they've been great.

Yes I have a lift - I had Daystar - changed to OME - and no rubbing - but I also have an ARB and the pinch weld was pounded over before I changed to the Kumhos - so I don't know if it would have been a problem.

I did note the Kumho tread width seemed a bit narrower than the MTR's at the same section width.

However I wouldn't put 245/75/16's on unlifted - a couple of folks have posted photos and there no clearance for bumps or turns - largest unlifted should be 245/70/16 and I think there still a little rubbing up front - but the plastic fender liner is easy to trim.
