I'm trying to link back to an earlier post. This is a big tire that's working well on an 08 without a lift. Hope this works.
275/70r17 GYW SA Pictures!! Sorry for the delay.
Here's the 275/70r17 GYW SA pictures I promised. Sorry for the delay. I liked these tires over the BFG T/A's because they provide the off road ruggedness but without the very rough look.
I think they are taller than the spec 32.2" They increased ground clearance over the original 265/65r17's by slightly more than 1 inch.
So far, all is great. The 275/70r17 GYW SA tires are working just fine with no lift or other mods needed. However I did move the front plastic inter-fender piece a little more forward, very easy. 3 screws into plastic at the bottom.
Not noisy.
6.3% error in odometer, no big deal.
Not sure about MPG yet.
The very slight rubbing of the UCA, only at full turn, is of no concern and totally negligible.
