I have to look are Hancook. I have heard good things about them as well but not to many dealers sell them in my area.
Vahelene- so you are lifted and still have rubbing with 245/75? have you pounded the pinch weld? I have not to mine and I suppose I need to look into how to do it maybe before getting tires.
I had some rub on the wheel well plastic liners and maybe the pinch weld with 245/70 before I was lifted. there much more room now under there... I didn't plan to use wheel spacers, where I am I will not pass anual state safety inspection if the tires stick out too far from the fender flairs.
John I have not looked are good year duratrac.. I kind of did not care for how the good year silent armor that was on it when I first bought the jeep handled in the rain with even more tread than my current Terra Tracs have, I had issues with no traction to pull out and fish tailing. that and friends that had Wrangler ST on and hated the traction and noise has caused me to shy away from Goodyear.
The Duratracs are a favorite on this site. Im running the 245/75/16's with no lift and very minimal rubbing on one side. However the pinch welds have been pounded down and the fender well liners and bumpers trimmed and modified. My rubbing occurs when backing down a hill and turning the wheel to full lock to turn around. Thats with the AT3's which are 30.3" when new. Im running factory 7" wheels and no spacers. I had 8" wheels with 4" backspacing that rubbed bad with the same tires.
