tried getting larger tires installed , just 285/70/17 and the tire dealer would not put them on because they were larger then the oem ones which are 255/75/17. said that check engine light, abs sytem, esp would be affected is this truly a problem or not. I know it will mess up the mph. thanks

 

Ummm, no it will not cause any of those problems (except the speedo)

 

Go to discount tire. no hassle.

 

you definitely need a new tire shop. Maybe find a local mom n pop place that will give you good service and no lip. Shop local and keep the money there as well.

 

x2 on discount tire.

Actually, last time was there they asked me when I was going to get bigger tires!



Soon, my jeep... sooon

 

X2, I mounted a set of 44s on a set of wheels at my shop, I have no idea what kind of vehicle they where going on

 

Go to a different shop, buy new ones, then take it by their shop and show them the $$$ and customer they just lost.

 

I brought mine to firestone complete care. They did a great job and charged me $75 to mount and balance all 5.

 

This tire shop wouldn't happen to be Cosco, would it? They won't put anything on a jeep unless it's OEM specs which means that they wouldn't put anything larger than 225/75/16 on my X. So, I went to discount tire and they had no problem whatsoever putting 35s on. I had even bought the 35s second hand from CL. Interestingly, Costco did not have a problem mounting 35 on the spare rim that I brought them My advice is to try discount tire if you have a shop in your area or just take the wheels in.

 

I use/like Discount too, but don't bother going there if you have spacers.
