I'm wanting to run bridgestone dueller m/t 245 70 r16 on my stock libby. I do plan on getting a lift but not sure when that will be. Will I have any trouble with these without a lift? How good is wet traction on these? I live in hawaii and it usually only rains enough to pull the oil out of the road then stops before it can wash the oil away.

I'm sure there probably will be some rubbing, but how bad? Will I need to do some trimming? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Justin

Where did our tire sizing chart from the EXboard go? Yes, 245/70/16 should work without a lift.

or, would it be more wise to get a 2.5" lift first, leave the stocks on for a while, and then get some 245 75 R16s? any opinions?

If you're planning on getting a lift then do that first and then get the 245/75.
