08 rubicon takeoffs in 255/75/17 were my first introduction to the size and I loved the heck out of them, (offroad performance vs size, fuel economy, and weight). I will probably use them when my current 285's wear out. Interestingly enough my 285's I'm currently running also came off a Rubicon,2019. Bought all five wheels and tires for 500 bux from a buddy so I don't regret going with them but when I pay full price it will prolly be 255's.

Yes. At least with the KO2’s. BTW, we are very happy with the 255/75/17 choice.
Only 1000 miles on these so far, and almost all on road / towing. I actually think these look pretty good without a lift.

We now have about 17,000 miles on these including beach sand, clay, gravel etc. (No snow). we Air Down to about 15PSI off-road with no issues on 7.5 inch rims. Performance has been perfect. Still look new, rotated 3X so far. When the time comes, we will get the 255’s again.
Update with 36,000 miles. No regrets, no issues, no rubbing, Fuel economy still good, tread looks like it could go another 36,000 miles. North Carolina / Georgia Off road & Florida Sand, no issue. Great all around Goldilocks choice.

I do love my stock size AT3W's, but I kinda wish I had gone straight for 255/75R17 when I took my stock tires off two years ago. I bought five at the time, and for my own sanity, if I go to 255/75R17 in the future... I'll also buy five, because I don't want a half-inch diameter mismatched spare.
