Sorry for a tire question/suggestion thread, but I am at wits end and in analysis paralysis with all the info I've read on this forum and others. Just wondering wha the Expo folks think...
Here is what I have:
*2011 JKU Sahara
*RK 1.75" BB LT kit installed (pucks)
*Rubicon wheels and tires installed (255/75/17 : ~32.1"X10")
*Spidertrax 1.5" spacers on a shelf
Here are my goals/guidelines:
*Slight gain in underbelly clearance for more clearance while driving down rutted farm roads and woods trails for camping, hunting and fishing
*Not do anything to my suspension and other related components, other than I what already have with the BB
*Maintain the best road/highway comfort I can as this is my DD
*I do not rock crawl
*Keep Rubicon wheels
*I do drive it to VT from CT to ski nearly every other weekend in the winter regardless of weather (150+ highway miles each way)
*I do drive it throughout New England to camp out of, often (150+ highway miles each way)
*I do drive it to Cape Cod (beach) from CT to every other weekend in the summer when the weather is sunny, but rarely drive it more than 2 days on the beach (200 highway miles each way)
*I am not for or against using the spacers I have
I have narrowed it down to these:
* Nitto Exo Grappler AWT 285/70/17 (~32.7”x11.2”) ~$244
* Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17 (~32.7”x11.2”) ~$260
* Cooper ST Maxx 255/80/17 (~33.1x10.0”) ~$204
* ******** Cepek Extreme Country 295/70/17 (~33.3”x11.6”) ~$225
* Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 285/75/17 (~33.8x11.2”) ~$217
I am leaning towards the 285/75/17 Wildpeak A/T3W followed by the 255/80/17 Cooper ST Maxx and lastly the 285/70/17 Duratrac. I looked at the BFG A/T T/A KO2 in 34x10.5" but the ~$311 seems expensive.
Anyone have any thoughts before I pull the trigger on something? Thanks!
