I had Khumo AT KL78s on my KJ without a lift. They weren't too bad. But, if it's snow n stuff you'd like to conquer, find an RMA "snowflake" tire or a dedicated/studded winter tire. I have Dunlop RVTXs on my stock rims right now. They're snow rated all season tires. They worked well last winter and aren't ridiculous expensive. These are solely my opinions and I do not guarantee that you'll have the same results I did. There, said it.

Love that picture :D I think a 245/70/16 is about as large a tire that can be used no mods,I ran 245/75/16 for a few weeks before lift,saved triming plastic after the lift.;)

Kumho KL78s are both good
have had them them both in the winter before
go 245-70-16s and you'll be good
Not sure what the smallest size Goodyear Duratracs come in but they do GREAT in the snow!Been driving around in two wheel trying to get hung up and can'tkopkrab.gif

Cooper Discoverer S/T's or Duratracs in 235/70-16 or 225/75-16, depending on whether you want to go LRE/D or not.

Man tires without a lift? Try a clevis lift and top plate spacers to gain enough room for man tires. Man tires are measured in inches, not millimeters.:)

Man tires are measured in any way they see fit, as long as they are an aggressive tread pattern that dictate their manliness.

Sure, a tires manliness is dictated by tread pattern. Then you must agree that a clevis and top plate will certainly gain some room for tires without incurring huge expense.

Wouldn't that net you close to 2" of lift? Come to think of it, I need some of those top plate spacers for a little extra from the sag I have now.#-o
