| Post subject: | New tires for 06 Liberty CDI |
Liberty is moving from daily driver to being towed by RV for use as a grocery getter, short drives and some not to serious off roading, like forest service trails and easy Colorado jeep trails. Looking at BFG Rugged Terrain T/A's, 2 questions; 1. why are the 235 75 16's almost $40 cheaper than the stock size 225 75 16's? 2. Looks like they will fit, not that much bigger, anyone running this size? Thanks, Richard |

Without knowing exactly which ones you are looking at could be Load Range difference. Check that first Why the BFGs? |

235/75/16s should fit I know they'll fit on my KK and I plan ok getting silent armors in that size when I upgrade from the stockers. As for the rugged terrains, we have those on our f150 and love them although they're a lot bigger 255/70/16. They're wearing very well so far and have tackled everything we've thrown at them and they just look good on the truck. Now it's my grandpas truck and personally I wouldn't have chosen them but he's a very stubborn man like me and they were the only all terrain tires I could talk him into getting so hey it works lol |

Thanks for the info, going for BFG's cause of price, a nationaly available brand (we do a lot of traveling in a rv pulling the Liberty), I have an Uncle and Cousin working at the Michelin/BFG pland in Oklahoma and they have driven BFG's for 25+ years with no problems, I do not need the smooth ride of my Michelin Tours, nor the cost at this time, and they have a good rating off road, for the type of driving we do. Don't need the mudders or lugs. Thanks again, Richard |
