Tires
I was thinking about upgrading my stock SRA's with tires that are more off-road friendly and honestly the stock 255/75 17's are big enough for my needs. Is it just me or is that a rare size? It seems like you only have a few choices in that exact tire size. What stock size replacements have some of you gotten and how have they treated you?
For a close fit. Go with 265/70R17. It is about .3" smaller in diameter, but it is .7" wider.
My dad has 265/70R17 BFG AT on his rubicon and just that tiny bit more width makes the jeep look much much better.
(31.7x10.7R17)
For a jump in size, which I am doing - go with 285/70R17 (33x11.5R17). It would be bigger and wider, and might hurt your MPG a bit, but not much. I am getting this size with Goodyear Duratracs.
Both are all terrain tires that are excellent all around for a weekend wheeler.
