Looking for a 17 inch AT tire that is somewhat beefy that will fit under a OME HD lifted KJ. Something in the 30.5-30.7 inch range I guess. currently I am running MOAB's with 245/75/16 MTR's but they might be moving to a LJ soon so I need to do something with the KJ when that happens. Let me know what you have done if you are using the 6 spoke 17 inch rims.

I already gave u my suggestion over in ur other post :wink:

But just incase you dont remember Firestone destination A/T's you can go with 245/70/17, again, (30.6" 9.8"wide), 255/65/17 (30.1" 10.2"wide), 255/70/17 (31.1" 10.2"wide), 265/65/17 (30.6" 10.7" wide)
I found them on tirerack.com for really cheap too

Oh and Im running my 245/65/17 on my 6 spoke limited wheels

yep, I had 245/65/17 when I was still stock. I just want something comparable to the MTR's to fill the wheel wells but with a little less noise! Not even sure I need load E rubber.

Personally, I like the noise of the MTR. The howl makes it feel more like a Jeep. But rolling up the windows and putting on some music is a quick fix.

are you trading the KJ?
if you are trading the KJ I wouldn't spend the money. I would leave the stock rubber or whatever you were running pre-lift on it. No need to spend the extra $$$
