Goodyear Duratrax 285/70R17 (33") or
Toyo 285/75/R17 (34")

Add a set of Spidertrax 1.5" spacers if you want to run either tire on factory wheels. Otherwise, they will rub on the sway bar at full steering lock.

Thanks! I'm really liking the new setup. I ran the Leveling Kit with the stock Rubi tires for a week or two while I waited for the new tires to come in. Looks fine to me. Here's a pic with the old Rubi BFG tires:

Thanks! 295/70/17 is about 33.5", which IMO works perfectly with the Leveling Kit.

Noise is extremely minimal although I could really care less

As long as they don't got WWII bomber on me like the Nitto Mud Grapps

If it's not been said. Go with 35's.

Most tires don't measure a true 35" ie. 34.8"
And after 10,000 miles or so they will measure 34" anyway.

With the additional size and weight difference (the Toyos are a HEAVY tire), I dropped about 1 mpg.

But, IMO...totally worth it. I really like the fit and stance now, much better than stock.

Hell yeah they're heavy...

I'm going for a lighter tire when I upgrade, however I did love the Toyos in everything except the mud. They kill on rocks too

I have 3.73's and seriously I don't notice that much of a difference. I DO plan to re-gear probably to 5.13's when I save up. But, after reading everyone on the forum saying to go with the 35's- I did- and you need to TOO!

How is your mileage?
