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

    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.

    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
