What tires for 2004 Liberty Limited 4x4?

I need a new set of tires. I currently have Goodyear Wrangler 235/70R17's on. I don't have a lift, it's all stock. I was wondering what my best bet for aggressive tires would be? Or am I SOL and should I just go with some cheapy street tires?

I don't drive off-road but I like the aggressiveness of the A/T tires. I was looking at Grabber AT2 but I don't think they make a 235/70R17. I've tried searching but everyone only gives the biggest tire with no rubbing for 16" rims. Am I screwed because I have the chrome 17"s?

Also: tirebuyer.com has a $40 off Labor Day coupon valid until tomorrow I think. Is that a good site or should I buy locally or some other site?

Cooper Discoverer are good tires.
You could probably go with a 245-70-16 or maybe 235-75-16.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 is available in 235/70R-17 (and 255/65R17, but that might be too wide - I'm not a fitment expert). The BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A is also available in the 235/70R-17 size.

Compare the various tire sizes over and under for your wheels here: http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-converter/ I don't know how far beyond 9.5" wide or how much taller than 30" you can go. There are some here who do know, so I hope they chime in for you.

Thank you for the information Jim, I will do some research. I was hoping a user here with 17" rims would chime in on their experience.

You're welcome, but it's not my "experience" yet, just some research I've already done. I've got no definitive answers yet.

Going to have to stick to a 29 inch tall tire or right about there, much taller and you'll have rubbing if springs are sagged at all

His tires & wheels are already at 30" (235/70R17 = 29.95" I think).
