| Post subject: | Tire Size Compromise |
So I have a set of Goodyear MTR's 245/75/16 that I throw on whenever I go off-roading (which is a lot less than I would like it to be) and I have a set of stock Goodyears that came with the Libby that I use for daily driving to conserve some gas where I can. It has now come time to replace my bald stock tires, but I want some tires that are somewhere in between stock and my MTR's. I want the Libby to look a bit more like a Jeep, but at the same time, I want to save some gas. Does anyone have any suggestions for a tire size that is somewhere in the middle that looks good? Thanks! |

I love the 245/70 size. I have the Vatiiva ATs. However, I'm not lifted so its perfect for me. Fills out the wells nicely without any rub. Lifted, a taller sidewall like 75 or 85 would be great in your case. I see your mudders are 245/75 so why not just get some kick butt ATs in the exact same size...they will look just like your mudders in your wheel wells. |

I agree, If you want something in between get a mean AT like General Grabber AT2. They have been great for me so far. |

I like the AT's Dunlop Rovers A/T 235/70-16, Had fortera by GY and last winter in the winter that we had lots of snow they never impressed me infact I was very disappointed in Good Years being that bad. Went to by Tires and said these are car tires I want a tiremeant for a Jeep. I like them more and more every day
