Just got the 305/70 r17 back from install today with a 2.5" lift. Pretty excited. Better pics to come.

More rolling resistance on the Rubi tread vs. the Terra Grapplers. overall tire width will definitely have an impact as well as tire diameter changing your final drive ratio(like a gear swap)

I ran the Terra Grappler's in a 295/70/17 for awhile, very nice and capable A/T tire
