My avatar shows my stock wheels and tires (225/75R16) -> Stock Height with 15" Black D's and 235/75R15 -> Clevis Lift with 15" Black D's and 235/75R15 -> Daystar & Clevis Lift with 15" Black D's and 235/75R15. I can post some actual pics if that is a comparison you would like to see...??? |

Tom you mentioned the 255's scrape by on the rear fender - do the 265's hit? and if you've got them available - how do the tread widths compare? (neither manufacturer lists it) |

(neither manufacturer lists it) Just put the 265-70s on today but I know they will hit for sure! I am tearing it down in a couple of weeks and testing it to see how much bumpstop I need or (if I ever find a set of stock steel wheels for cheap ) I found some narrow 235-85-16 retreads with a digging tread design that I will run off road.
The BFG ATs are a good inch wider than the Kumhos were measuring across the tread the KL78s were just 8 inches, the BFGs are 9 plus a little they do fill up the fender well and look good on the Moabs 
I should of done a side by side comparison shot, but they are already on UPS heading for New York! |

Those 265's sure do look good. and an inch of treadwidth for 10mm of section width I guess I shouldn't be surprised - even for the tire manufacturers that list width there's about 3/4" difference across only 265's Thanks |

Ran down to the parts store and have seen this one Wrangler owner a dozen times, I always say Hi to him and get nothing in return. Tonight he was walking out and turned and came back in and said "OK now I have to go and admit that I like a Liberty! "

long_tall_texan - that last picture is crying for more tire. I think a 31/10.50/15 would help. |

got them in on trade for some work I done on a guys Jeep and was going to resell them, but the longer they stayed in the garage, the more they WANTED to be on the Kj But sold the Kumhos for more than what I wanted out of these so it was a great deal in the end!

I think a 31/10.50/15 would help. Yeah, I know they should probably be a bit larger now, but I just got them, then put the lift on. Now they look a little small. They were OK pre-lift... Hard to justify getting rid of brand new tires already. But plan to get 31x10.50 next time. |
