So a stock JK 2-door can fit 32s. My options aren't exactly that.

Default So a stock JK 2-door can fit 32s. My options aren't exactly that.

So I'm looking at the Hankook DynaPros: http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/tir...97006&pc=11959

Two options are:

LT285/70R17D1 121Q B which equals 32.70"

and

265/70R17 which equals 31.60"


When they say 32.70" do they mean with the tire over-inflated way past where I would normally inflate it just to get to that measurement? If I were to inflate it for road driving to a reasonable pressure might it measure closer to 32"?

I want a tire that won't require me to mod anything.

My Jk 4 dr. came stock with BFG 32's, I don't see why 2 door should be any different.

You'll probably be fine with the bigger ones. Its not that much of a difference.

If you really don't want to mod anything, then go with the 265/70R17 and you will be fine.

the 285 fit any jeep that came with 17'' or 18'' without a problem only slight rubbing on front sway bar at full lock. most who have upgraded go this size with no problems and no lift

I am running 285/75R17 dynapro mt's on my 2dr. They are great for all conditions ( rock, mud, sand, ice). I'm running 28 psi on the street and 10 on rocks with the factory steel wheels. The only draw back is they are 10 ply so they are Heavy.
