    Wrangler MTR

    Hello,, I had a set of goodyear MTR's put on that are 245/75/16 and didn't need any trimming. they actually look pretty good. Cost me about $600.00 for the set mounted.I am gonna lift it in the future but for now these tires look real good.

    Many thanks for the help and advises
    I am a lot clearer now for what I need to do:
    if I go with 256 need triming
    if I go with 245 it would be fine (I believe 245 is the factory size)
    I try to find the side for triming "how to" no luck
    I will look further

    Many thanks for all the helps and advise:P

    FYI, I have 33" tires liftd with 912 springs AND 1" SPRING SPACER and I STILL RUB after a good amount of trimming, keep finding I need to trim more and more every time I go wheeling.
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    2000 Ironman Project LS-1 VX... very slow progress but someday....... ohhhhh someday......

    I have a 99 with stock rims. I have Kelly Safari AWR 265/75. I did not have to trim anything for them to fit. They work pretty well and last about 50,000 miles. There is a pic of it in my gallery.

    I also run 265/75's on 16" with no trimming
    Avon SXT mud terrain
    Great tread, great high speed, good grip.
    they show very little wear. Adds 5 mph over indicated speed
    Some "soft" rock crawler compounds will not last long on the street $$$$$
