Hey guys,
I am looking for advice I want something more agressive that is currently on there. Original size is 255/70 R18. I think I can go up to 270/70 R18 without getting a lift.
What tires would you recommend?
I have heard that the Toyo Open Country M/T are a good tire.....what else?
Keep in mind that I want to run my stock rims.
Thanks,
Matador

4.5 inches does not seem to be much, but you can feel the effect of the gear ratio change. One very positive note about the tire upgrade is the JK feels much more stable on the road.

Installed Goodyear MT/R 275/70 R18 with Kevlar last week with no lift needed on my 2009 JK Sahara. These tires are 33.6 diameter, and they add 4.5 inches in circumference over what the 255/70 R18 Bridgestone Dueler ATs measured.
