Post subject:  Factory wheel size ?
Hello everyone,

Well my wife and I are looking for new tires for the liberty and checked what the factory size was and found they were 235/65/17.
Ok the size is a bit odd but, hey I'll just look for a new tire right, WRONG!!!
The tire we want is the BFG A/T KO but, it is not made in this size, so the search continued.
I checked around (tirerack etc...) for the factory wheel size and it doesn,t appear any were.
The Liberty is a 2003 Rocky Mountian Edition and I have checked every year and model and none list this wheel and tire size.

Has anybody had a Liberty with this size.
We don't really want to buy new wheels but, if we have to fine.

245/65/17 should work. Check the tire thread.

these from TireRack fit yours and mine! :wink: I am thinking about the Yokohama Geolander AT/S but those Fuzions look good too and I can pick them up locally. For a more All Season tire you could try the Firestone Destination LE. The 235 is 29.5" OD compared to the others that run 29.1" or 29.2". I run these on my work van and they still look brand new after about a year, not sure on the total miles but I can find out. Some reviews show them as wearing out at about 25k. Probably depends on the vehicle and rotation, etc.

235/65R17

I have the BFG A/T KO which is a e rated tire in the 16" size,I like the tire but it somewhat noisey compared to my old wrangler HP'S,check for the bridgestone revo's in the 17" size..

I have been happy with my Geolanders since I put them on. They are not noisy at all, but the tread is aggressive enough to handle occasional off-road terrain.
