Hi,
Not trying to hi-jack your thread, are you happy with the 245/75-16 on stock wheels?
Planning on doing larger tires but do not want to invest more money since I just put a new turbo in it.
Thanks!
Been running 245x75R16's AT's for several years with no issues. Do have 2.5" lift along with 1/2" clevis spacers.
Did not have to modify anything, lucky I guess based on what some have posted on LOST.
I do believe tires with less aggressive rounded type shoulders fair better than tires with more aggressive square shoulders. Street treads vs AT's vs Mud treads.
Different tires do have different tread profiles depending on tire molds and tread patterns. Thread depth and design can have a big influence on scrubbing issues or not.
Been through this on plenty of 4x4 trucks when putting much larger tires and taller rims.
Look at tire construction and tread profile or pattern before picking a tire. All 245x75R16's are not equal even though they carry the same size numbers....
C & D load rated tires generally have shallower tread depth and less aggressive tread profiles than the heavier E load rated tires.
This is a good site to compare just tire sizes, i.e. widths, diameters, height, etc...
