With the information provided I think I will hit mid ground and get the 245/75/16 and hopefully avoid all the little issues with 265/75/16's but just get a bit more then the standard 235/70/16.

Looks like I am off to buy some tyres :burnrubber:

Hope there going to be Mickey Thompson ATZ'S...:D

Unfortunately not, with the earlier then expected replacement of tyres and the iminent Gearbox replacement there is no where near enough beans in the can :(.

I'll just be adjusting my driving style to whatever is available at the right price. Particularly as the whole 5 are being replaced to keep all the big black circles the same size.

Mate, could you post up a pic? Cheers

you should not need to rotate the wheel carrier for 245/75, well i didn't.
only for 235/85 or 265/75 will this be needed. :)

I went down and had a go after reading a few posts, and squeezed it on.
Shouldn't need to rotate the carrier but will need to lower the rear bumper a bit as it is fowling.

This is with a Goodyear Wrangler LT 245/75/16.

At the moment the car is in the parking lot, as soon as it is out i'll grab some photos for you Cucinadio.

Ended up with Westlake SL369 LT 245/75/16 for $210 fitted, and they gave me the Goodyear Wrangler LT 245/75/16 for $200 as the spare.

Ended up with bigger LT tyres so I will see how they go over the next couple of days and modify my driving to them.

Do I even ask about Tyre Pressure????

Oh by the way it has a 2 inch lift :twisted:
