P255/75R-17 on 5th gen

Anybody running P255/75R-17 on a stock 5th gen? I'm thinking about Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor from Discount Tire. I'm going to keep my 2013 TE mostly stock for the next couple of years. Don't run in deep mud or sand. Will be dealing, mostly, with lots of snow. And only get out to CO, UT, AZ once a year. They won't give me much extra ground clearance, but seem like a reasonable compromise given the conditions I drive in. Thanks.

Few people are running 255/80/17 on here. Do a search and you can see.

Thanks. I must have missed you. I only saw 3rd and 4th gen running 255s when searching. Well I spent the whole day doing research and decided to go with Bilstein 5100s at .85 and 255s. So, I answered my own question....

Got mine from a buddy who took them (BFG Mud Terrain KM 255/75R17) off his Jeep. They are great.

Thumbs up

I really liked them. They need to be siped though, and I did it on my own. That really assisted with the wet/snow traction.

You can go with pizza cutters 255/80/17 if you want more clearance.

Awesome guys!

Keep posting anyone that has this tire size... there's some references on the forum sure, but it's not a subject easily found with vast discussion or examples.

This few posts just really helped me out!

Im sitting at stock form/height and I'm looking to throw a set of takeoffs on mine this week. Really needed to see your guys rigs with the tires and no fitment issues :-)

After the takeoffs will be some Cooper STT Pro's

Dig those wheels man! Hey thanks for posting! How you like the size/type of tires? Any particular mods needed to allow for fit without rubbing? I notice your lift not sure if anything else.

The ST MAXX are great tires for the price. If you are more onroad then offroad I think its the best option for the size. There is also the KM2 255/80 if you want to drop a bit more coin and have some more offroad capability. No rubbing with my setup

Thanks. I love the tires for my needs. I hit the trails as much as I can, but it's my DD and I drive a lot. Having built several Jeeps running wider tires, the skinny tires make a difference. No Spacers and only minor rubbing when flexing and turning. I could easily fix that with some minor trimming, but a Shrockworks bumper was haunting my dreams.

Right now I have Bill Stein 5100 all around, Toytec springs in the rear and OME 883 springs in the front. I have a set of Toytec BOSS struts in my garage going in this weekend ...

Awesome man! Yea I'm leaning towards possibly the 6112-5160 route, although haven't decided on coils yet. When I do get the lift in though, I'm most likely springing for the Cooper STT Pro's!
