nithin nk Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hi All. I am getting a Wrangler Sport 2 door and planning to change the tyres. Stock tyres are 245/75R17 which looks very skinny. I have read through few of the earlier posts and found 2 sizes people are using. 265/70R17 and 285/70R17 and Geolandars. I have test drove the vehicle and liked its peppy engine. I don't want to add heavy LT tyres whereby it will affect the performance, at the same time I like the looks of wrangler with 285s. I haven't found any non-LT 285s. Am not planning for any lift and this car will be used 80% on pavement. Appreciate your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Almost all Jeeps with 285s have lift. When I upgraded to 285 I drove without lift for few days and in my observation 285s will rub to the fender in sharp turns on Tarmac and definitely off-road. Also they don’t feel right driving without a lift steering will seem heavy. You would be better off with 265s if you don’t plan a lift kit. I am not sure about 265 but you definitely need wheel spacers with 285s. 1 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary F Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 😭 in the reality of driving a car with mud terrains , although they certainly are a little more malleable as the temp rises . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
