285/70/17 vs 265/70/17 on stock 17" wheels
My new JKU Sport S in black is coming in in a few weeks and I want to replace the tires asap. I am considering two tires, in two different sizes.
1. BFG TA K/O in 285/70/17 plus 265/70/17
2. Goodyear Duratracs in 285/70/17 plus 265/70/17
Does anyone have these tires/pics, specifically on stock 17s? Can anyone attest to how they are in snow/on street and if there are any rubbing issues at all (if so, where)? Including with swaybar disco-ed. Any need to get a pro-cal for either size?
I quite like the stock wheel look on a black Jeep and would like to not replace them.
Thx

I have the KM2's on a set of 10A factory rims in LT265/70R17E with a 2.5" lift on a Sport, this is how it looks,
It rides like it should, reminiscent of a dump truck. These would be horrible snow/ice tires are they completely lack siping. There were no rubbing issues before the lift, and none after.

At least the sizing is the same...so you had em on before the lift? No spacers, right?
