235 85 16 and Lifted

BCool · **Posted:** Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:45 pm

I decided to go with the 235 85 16's on my lifted liberty, seems to work well. I got the Toyo Open Country At's, they only come in E load range, so far they are quiet, and not as rough as the stockers at 40psi. RPM's are lower and I think the spedo is about 10% +/- off. I'll try to get some picks. Slight rub going forward on the front bottom wheel well and in reverse, well thats another story. I havne't done any trimming yet though.

Can you tell what they've done to the mileage yet?
(FYI - new tires always come with a picture requirement)

Are those bigger/different from the wrangler rubicon MT/Rs? How much lift?

Also, are those pics coming anytime soon? I agree with ATX, this is a unexceptable

Tonight or tomorrow on the pics. Yes they measure around 31.7 inches in diameter. MTR's are 30.5. Mileage is up in the air so far, evic has to be completely inaccurate because of the 10% difference in odometer speedometer readings, or maybe, it will finally be accurate :roll:

.

I really like the size and the looks of them. I wish there was an in between size, a 245x80x16. I think that they could be wider but they would rub more if they were. They still look wider than stock. Love the tire so far, smooth little noise. The lift was different than most. My Daystar spacer up front was more like 2 inches than 1.5. I also did a little bit of clevis lift. Probably around 3" of lift up front and the rear I did the skyjacker springs and left the spring isolater in, Might add another but I like the front taller than the back look. I'll take measurements tonight of total lift to fender, skid, pumpkin.

I just did a tire upsize to but went with a 245/75R Cooper Discovery. I get rub on lock steer to the right but just got out the tin snips and made room. I had already installed an ARB front bumper and had done quite a bit of trimming already. Coolist thing about it all is my speedometer is about nuts on now. Pluged in the GPS because I was thinging it would be going the other way but showed up within 1MPR of what the speedo said. Another good thing about the tires is that they were P rated and ride great with no noise. Definately will not be heros in the mud but I spend more time on pavement than I do mud anyway. :wink:
