| Post subject: | Another tire question, and yes I searched. |
After reading and re-reading these I am lost viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1788 http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Jeep_Liber ... s_%26_Rims (Disclaimer: I am a complete novice when it comes to the off-roading world) So here I go, I have an 07 liberty and plan on modding it a little for the occasional weekend trip, I know that I want to lift it, but haven’t decided on which kit, and I know it won’t be over 4 inches. I have seen a lot of people having 265/75/16‘s listed as there tires, is this an appropriate size for a weekend Lib, or should I go with something closer to stock size? Something like 245/75R16? Also I'm not getting tires till after/ during the lift. Here are some that I have found http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire-sel ... re-details and http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... mpare1=yes |

265-75-16s / 235-85-16s etc you'll need to regear theres a reason most everyone goes with 245-75-16 over all good size for a 2.5-3 inch lift can use stock wheels etc As far as BFG, good tire in the 70s-80s Much better tires out there now overall I ran Kumho KL78s for a short time, not a bad tire, did good overall but not nearly as good as the Duratracs are just for S&Gs Ive ran/ tested stockers ( very short time) Firestone Destinations Kumho KL78s Goodyear MTRs BFG ATs ( short time) Treadwrights ( very short time) Goodyear Duratracs Also I know what 26 / 800 / 145 etc are like and you should look for a tire that is snow rated ( just in case we ever have snow again instead of rain) |

Granted the roads weren't that bad only a foot of snow on them. But that is a very good point I was only looking for On road Off road tires. |

Sounds like the winter I tried to run M-50s on the rear of my 69 Cougar. Driving from Woodsfield to Barnesville every day  of course that was 40 years ago, young and dumb

40 years ago you could drive a car into a tree and back up then drive off. |

I have the BFG's on my 06 CRD and I love them  Quiet, decent offroad traction, much better mileage than when I was driving on Goodyear MTR's. |
