Default 265/70 17 Duratracs?

Anybody have any photos of 265/70 17 Duratracs on the stock rims? I searched but didn't see any.

I'm thinking about these or maybe just replacing my SRAs with some rubi take offs (let me know if you have a set you are looking to part with)

okay - how about any photos of 265/70 R17s? Thinking about these with a TF leveling kit, but was hoping to see some photos of the tires on stock rims first.

My other alternative is to pick up a set of BFG 255/75 R17 Mud Terrains (rubi take offs) - anyone around Ohio have a set of tires they are looking to part with?

My dad has that size for a BFG AT. It is best for a stock vehicle. If you get some new wheels, you could fit 285/70R17.

thinking about the 285's as well, but don't want to run spacers. If I go that route I would probably adjust the steering stops. But the 285 duratracs are E rated - haven't decided what I think about the higher rating (in terms of ride quality)

the 285's are "d" rated according to Tire Rack.com

Ahhh...you are correct. It's the 265's that are available in an E (and also a C).

If you are not planning on lifting, then get the 265s. Here's a pic of 265 on my dad's rubi. They sure give a stock JK a more complete look with wider and beefer tire.

If you plan on lifting or installing new wheels, go 285. If you want to remain 100% stock, go 265s.

Not Duratecs but gives you an idea of size.

The 265 will look more beefy on a stock rim.
