After looking at every possible tire size that would fit a kj I decided to look at stock and found these. Has anyone tried them? Is it worth throwing them on or wait for funds for lift and go with the 245/75/16's??? Any feedback welcome....

How soon are you planning on lifting it? I got a set of tires 3 months (6000 miles) before I lifted. Now I'm annoyed with myself for not waiting until after the lift :roll:

I really have no idea how soon i'll be lifting it. I took it out and played in the mud last night with my minivan tires and realized the potential. The only time that it let me down was on a log skidder trail hill climb. very steep, very wet, and clay. I'm not sure if i would have made it with the km2's but i do know it would have been throwing mud instead or turning into slicks

I run BFG All-Terrains at 245-70 and they barely rub. I would recommend this size for you

When do they rub?

I bought my KJ with BFG AT's LT255/70R/16's and they only rub slightly on the fog light door at full lock.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't I read 16" 255 or even 245 MT's (mud tires) cannot fit on a stock height KJ?

ok now i'm getting confused i didnt think there was any way to put 255's on a stock kj.................... I would love to see it with some wide tires.....wider tire more mud flying!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

stumpjumper_09 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 17, 2009 6:40 pm

ah ha I think the rookie may be able to answer a question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your 02 could be a pre-lowered meaning that stock ride height is 1" higher than mine. In that case you could clear 255's with little to no problem.

oddball · **Posted:** Tue Mar 17, 2009 6:42 pm

Yes it is. The build date is 09/01.

They rub only at full lock. It's hardly noticeable, a slight noise heard inside the cabin. If the tires were 1/8 of an inch smaller, they wouldn't rub at all. I've gone mudding and wheelin' with those tires, and absolutely no damage has been done. Here's some pics:

those tires really help the look!!! did they do anything to fuel economy?

The tires sunk the fuel economy from about an average of 16mpg to an average of 14.5mpg. I would trade the fuel economy for the looks and performance any day of the week.

I don't know if you added the .5 for the speedo difference if you didn't than that is only 1 mpg. that's nothing!!!! That just throws another option in the mix. I can't wait to see which tires i actually go with!!!!
