With a 2" to 2.125" lift...What tire size would you run?

man you are opening a can of worms, its like asking what color hair should my next wife have :lol:

with that lift you can pretty much run safely up to a 245-75X16 but other sizes come into play if you want a wider tire, more narrow if youre keeping the spacers, etc etc etc and also what you want the tire to do, AT/ MT ??

I would like to go AT...unless you know of a good MT that will fit and be kind of good on the road. Also, not sure about spacers...would like to get a rim that has the right bs so I don't have to have them. However, they libby just does not look right with the stock rims and no spacers.

Moabs and 245/75 R16's MTR's. Fit great, look great, drive great, just a bit louder.

I've got about 2 1/4" of lift, and 245/75-16 MT/R's do great. not much rubbing, and if they rub and it bothers you, space em out. for the amount of lift you're talking about, 245/75-16s would be perfect. IMO my MT/R's have good street manners, they're not that noisy (but I listen to the radio pretty loud) and they do better in wet and snow than the stock rubber, be they RS-A's or ST's

If you're looking for a good AT , I would recommend what I did. Moab rims from a Rubicon that are 16X8" with 5" backspacing and Wrangler Silent Armors in a 245/75R16 load range C. Fits really well with only a tiny amount of trimming at the front fog lamp doors with my Frankenlift. They're severe snow rated, and work very well in the snow, ice, and rain. They're very quiet and smooth for an AT on the roads. The tread is 16/32", so they look pretty aggressive. Gives it a really nice stance.

i agree that the 245/75/16 is a good choice, as might be the 215/85/16 depending on if you like a narrow tire. i've had two sets of Dayton Timberline MTs, so that's what I'd get...

I as Tom said this may be a can of worms but, What type of driving do you do, Rock, Mud, Sand, Trail and what amount do you do. It's like wareing Coyboy boots to play backetball :lol:

. Not what they are designed for, then sizeing and then price these are all consideration.
I had just bought my new tires before joining LOST, I just gotten good tires. I love them for the road, and do pretty good, but now I know other options I could have looked at first. :wink:

245/75/16s for sure and if u want something kinda in between get a M+S tire its what im running and i really llike them. they are more agressive than a AT tire but not as much as a MT. they are just a little loud but not like most MTs.
these are what they look like and the treads are deeper than they look in this pic
