Default MB TKO's and 315/75/16 Duractracs installed...

Got my shipment from Discount tire today and couldn't wait to throw them on. 16" MB TKOs and 315/75/16 Duratracs. Definitely glad I went with the 315/75s instead of the 285/75s. The 315s measured right at 34" off the jeep and at max pressure the way they were shipped. I aired them down to just under 40psi and they are sitting just under 34" on the jeep. I will do a chalk test tomorrow to get the right pressure as I think I'm still running them high. I've got no lift yet, and just trimmed the factory skidplate. For on road driving, there is no rubbing at all and I feel pretty good with the amount of clearance that I've got all around. Offroad I'm sure would be a different story. The duratracs ride great and aren't nearly as rough as I expected after reading about the E rating. Very low noise as well with just a slight hum. Tomorrow the bushwacker flat flares will go on to give me a little more clearance, and possibly stubbying the bumper. A few quick pics from tonight...







Big thanks to Jake at Discount Tire Direct. He was really helpful, hooked me up with extra discounts, and was super easy to deal with. I knew everything I wanted before I called, but it was definitely nice to be able to order from someone that actually knew about the products, the vehicle, this forum(!), fitment, etc. Highly recommend them!

Obviously meant 'Duratrac' in the title. Any way to change that??

No rubbing at all on the stock suspension. Only on road driving so far but any off roading will be light

Just FYI, your tire pressure at the size should probably be 28-30 psi. Definitely do the chalk test but that's what it should come out as.

Thanks for the info. From what I've seen, it seemed like it would be in the 30-35 range so I just left it a little high to start. I'll definitely check it today
