Date with rover this weekend and testing new shoes
Well I did it. Got tired of the 255/85. I dont regret much but i do regret that. Them tires were just too big. As I have said before I learned ROVERS JUST DONT NEED BIG TIRES.
It was between 235/85/16 or 245/75/16
I went with the 235/85
type of tire was between
Kelly Safari tsr 720 Mount and bal
Goodyear Duratrac 800 mount and bal
goodyear mt/r [old] 800 m and bal
My first choice was the goodyear mt/r I wanted a mud tire and that was a good price!
They could no longer get them so it was between the duratrac or safari
the tsr looked more aggressive and saved me 80$ so I went with them!
the fierce attitude was the same cost but couldn't get past the ****** wire graphics.
Hopefully this will get me better handling, more power and the perfect tire for fuel economy.
I will have BETTER pictures and videos and reviews this time. If I dont post back by sunday night call the search and rescue guys
ill be located somewhere on this map!

Yes sir!
My plan to get 1" spacer lifts put them
On and then if I feel it's too much remove the body lift.
I like the look of extra clearance in the wheel
Well.
I felt ome springs on stock tires looked perfect as far as tire to lift /wheel well spacing. My biggest gripes with the 255/85 was
Too big
Robbed me of too mix power
They looked stuffed in the wheel wells even with my 3.5" lift.
