4th Gen tires

Time has come to replace my factory tires on my 03' Sport. I'm looking at replacing them with some BFG A/T's or Goodyear M/T R's.. What is the largest tires that will fit the 4th Gen's without rubbing issues? Do you think the LT265/70R17's will rub? Thanks,

JK

kaneman, one size up is perfectly fine and will have no rubbing

ofcourse driving like a mad man turning corners like a sportscar is another story

Whats up Lance? Thanks reply.. Right now I'm aiming towards the BFG's because they're cheaper but I think the M/T-R's would look nice on a 4th Gen. What tires are you running now?

Currently runnin mt/r's and love every bit of it. It rides nice and smooth and definitely works well on the trails.

btw, alot of users have commented that it's loud but i've yet to experience that

i love the MTRs too, and have not found them at all to be "loud" ...

i have a 4" lift and am running the 275s - but it has required some trimming of the wheel wells.

i agree with Lance that 265/70/17s will/should fit just fine!

a general question, assuming tire size beinging equal, do at’s wear longer than mtr’s in terms of total mileage or are they about the same?

I love my Firestone MTs. Bearably louder than stock, but looks meaner that a b*tch out of hell!
