So after much debate and saving, I finally purchased new tires after my old AT's were toast. I went with the 235/75/16's Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors, which is a 29.9 Inch tire. Slightly taller than the 245/70/16's (29.5) but not as wide which should give better traction on snow because of the weight displacement. I have experienced NO rub, even at full lock while driving around street side. Might have some when i start taking it out on the trails and get some articulation going, but so far im very pleased. Also installed them myself at the Fire Station, so that saved me a couple hundred bucks for the mounting and balancing :BANANA:

Yup, thanks, i picked it up in Miami when my parents were still living there. The ONLY 4wd Liberty in all of the Southeast at the time and i think this color was only available down there unless it was ordered, although, i have seen at least one with my color on the forums. The blue stuff on the tire will wash off, just there to protect it for shipping apparently. These tires are great so far, so much quieter than the old crappy AT's i had on her before. Can't wait to take it out in the snow and see how it does.

Nope. At least nothing that I have noticed. Search my my montezuma basin thread. Got some pics in there of what i did with the same setup and it did just fine, no issues with rubbing.
