Ok these tires are not new but they will do for me to pass inspection. they are bf long trail T/A's 245 75 16. up from 29 to 30.5 inches. no rub at all...well except in reverse making a left.

this size is perfect! makes the pathy look so much better! and it rides better too..wont handle as well since their bigger now but i love the ride and cushion from the bigger tires. here are some pics...tell me what u think

ohyeah i lost a offroad lamp from hitting a pole in a parking spot because i went into far. So pissed! i should have put them on the grille sooner!

before after

time for me to go test on the trails!!! though they are highway tires...oh well!

time to go down hill!

I cannot tell the difference from stock to these....so I think thatsa good thing.

What about road noise and how are they on the highway?

yeah...its better in person...the tires make it look more macho!

the tires are great...they are alot quieter then my old ones. it grips the wet roads like no other! and they are used too!!! about 80% tread left on them maybe more. got all 4 installed and balanced for a total of 160! its a deal!
