I have a 2000 Cherokee sport with a 5.5" Rubicon Epress Lift. I currently have BFG A/T 265x75x16's on it. I am going to purchase BFG KM2's. I am debating on whether to stay with the 265's or go to the next size up to 285's. I would like some imput from any XJ owners with this type of tire and sizes. |

Didn't trust JJ?  Serious though, My Ex XJ, w/ 285's w/ 4.10's is Perfect. A little more gear might be nice but overall drivability on and off road is great w/ that size. I wouldn't waste my time w/ 32's as you will just wish you went bigger. |

Most likely I will not be getting gears or lockers. |

I am running BFG 32X11.5X15 A/T KO'S, I will be upgrading to the KM2's for my next set, I am not running 33'se cause of clearance issues, been very happy with the odd tire size I have. Gets driven everyday, and they are wearing well

Gets driven everyday, and they are wearing well I would have to trim more for the 285's as well. Not to mention needing a bigger spare tire. Chances are I'll stay with the 265's. BTW, Any pics of your XJ? |

Thanks to everyone for their advice and pics! I did order my tires yesterday. I stayed with 32's, and I will be happy with them. Now, for the next mods! |
