another which size tire question(but different)
I know it's been asked a bunch of times but this is a question about a specific tire. about the MTR's with kevlar
My question is which would you put on the stock 17 in rim?
Before you answer it here's the details. Im getting the teraflex 2.5 coil spring lift and have the rest stock. D30 and auto tranny. new to wheeling but I've caught the bug. don't wheel much i'd say once every few months. I'm looking at the 305/70's (34.1in) the 315/70 (34.7in) or the 35x12.5 (34.8in) 35's are only cause they're cheaper than the other 2 but a lower load rating.
This is my only vehicle and i'd like to keep it within the waranty but which would you put on and why.

Regardless of whether it's the mtr-kevlars or any other tire, the answers are the same.
I'll assume you've checked the FAQ's by now, so you know what lift height you'll need for various tire heights. What backspace you need for various tire widths. What mods you'll need to keep them from rubbing. And I hope you know that you won't be happy running an auto with stock gears with any of the tire heights you listed.
As far as which one to put on your stock rims - the narrowest - because they will rub the least...

I realize the power loss which is why i'm probably going with the 305's. I was just taking the people's opinion on what the majority would do. I'm also deciding between the spacers or just getting a set of Crager 8's They cost about the same.
