So new tires are in my future.. probably late next year. At that time, I'll have the typical 2.5" OME lift installed, with top plates and extra iso's, about 3.0" over stock.
I also have a set of '03 Moabs for my next set of tires. I am currently on stock 16" Limited wheels with 245-70-16 AT's. I like the size and overall appearance now, but when lifted, I want to avoid the tall and skinny look (too much). I understand since the Moabs will be wider, this appearance and tire size will look different then as well...BUT...
So the usual upgrade would be 265's, but if I did not want that tire size, should I just stick with the size I have and put those on the Moabs?
I do not plan to re-gear, at least not likely to anytime soon. Probably will in the future, but not within the lifetime of my next set of tires. I am perfectly content with the power and acceleration and all that as it is currently with a 29.5" diameter tire.. but am worried that moving up to 265's would just kill it.
What say all of you? Put 265's on and just deal with it if she ends up being a dog (I do not drive aggressively anyhow....) or continue with the 245-70's on the 16x8" Moabs until I can get around to moving to 4.10s?
