Hey everyone,

I was wondering what is the biggest tire I can put on the 08 liberty 3.7 6V and that I wouldn't have any trouble with?
And do you guys have any suggestion of off-roads tires I should be looking at? It would be mostly for beach, sand, dirt roads.

I'll take any suggestions.

Thanks for all

Are you running the stock 16 inch rims, and are not lifted?
If so, you can run 225/75/R16 or 245/70/R16. Both are 29 inches tall, but the second is a bit wider.
With a 2 inch lift, you can run 245/75/R16's, which are 30.5 inches tall.
With a 4 inch lift, you can run 265/75/R16's if you regear. Those are 32's.
You won't be able to run 33's on a Liberty without a 6 inch lift or a solid front axle conversion.

No, as posted by ATH, 235/75/16 is the max for a stock. 225/75/16 and 245/70/16 are also good "options". There are plenty of tires out there for the listed sizes above. Good year, firestone, and BFG (didn't good year buy them out?). Other mfg's are also acceptable, just research the tire you want on its reliability.

The "blinkers" are tinted.

Pull the turn signals off, clean, two wet coats of VHT Niteshades, few coats of clear, then enjoy the rock chips later down the road :-)r

Don't use tinting film..
It will put a bunch of tiny cracks in the housing because heat from the bulbs won't dissipate as efficiently.

Keep the stock height, or go to a 245/70-16 with an all terrain. It'll give the off road look that you're looking for. If you lift you can go bigger, but you're also looking at more money.

Check this thread out:
viewtopic.php?f=104&t=45371&start=20

Not much on the other 2 pages for stock and 245/70-16, but there's some. It's an old thread so some of the pics are missing, but I skimmed through and saw a few with those tires and no lift.
