I am about to change the tires and was hesitant about changing to a bigger size. Anybody with 255 R16 70 tires maybe AT ones that can share pictures of how they look in their KJ's? I am afraid they can look too big... and maybe 245's all terrain are better.

He's running that size I believe.

Edit:

Never mind...noticed you're driving a KJ.

Thank you but thats a lifted KJ. Mine is not and I am trying to see how it looks on the same condition as mine. Btw it seems that in order to use a 75 you have to lift it or else it will not fit.

have to lift it to run 255-70s or just drive straight and no speed bumps/ curbs etc
245-70 works well

Ah, ok, so thats because 255's are higher than 245's? I thought height was just the same 70 for both. Therefore if my KJ is not lifted I can't use more than 245?
And, is it true that the new Yokohama AT's are not noisy (on the highway) at all due to their design with straight/very separated grooves? This is what the dealer is telling me. I do a lot of miles on the highway and noise could be a real issue I beleive. Never had AT tires before. Are these Yokohama AT's some sort of not noisy AT's?

Ok, i finally bought the 245 70 R16 GT radial Savero HT2 becuase i thought the Yokohama AT S were going to be very noisy due to being off road tires. At least i wont hear a bothering noise all the time on the road.

I have the Yokohama AT-S tires and they ride smooth and quiet all the time, as well as perform great traction off road. I love mine.

ran 255s on mine before it was lifted and after it was lifted including wheel spacers, pound the pinch in good and they'll fit, they'll just rub when turning tight against either the pinch or the fog light access doors on the fenderwell skirt, but you wont have the room for wheel spacers on an unlifted with that profile tire
