Yeah this is yet another tire thread. Believe me, I tried to hash it all out using the search function here and reading copious amounts of tire information elsewhere. No luck.
My KJ is an '06 limited, and I need to replace the tires pronto. I'm not lifted (yet), and I'm on the stock 17" wheels. There are a few good choices available in stock size, but they're all p-metric. I'm wanting a good set of a/t's along the lines of the cooper discoverer or hankook dynapro, but I'd prefer an LT tire. Anyone know of a decent a/t LT in 235/65r17, or close enough to fit without rubbing (my suspension is sagged, but not very much - wish I remembered the hub to fender measurement, but I don't)?
Another thing I've considered is getting a set of winter tires for the 17's, thus giving me a few months to find a good deal on some 16" wheels and giving myself a better selection come spring. Thoughts on this approach?
I don't wheel for the sake of wheeling, and this KJ is my dd when I can't use the bike, but I like being prepared for the worst and not being tied to the pavement. Is an LT even the best fit for me, or am I making too much of the issue?
