They are 245/75/16 I do believe. With the procomps, it gives it a nice flush/poked look

I have Hankook ATM's also in 265/75/16. They've performed great offroad.

Are the white letters out on that size? Some sizes they are others they are not.

I'm pretty sure you can always turn the black side out and white letters inside on any tire. I found this on wikipedia. Now I know all the letterings for sidewall descriptions.
  • BSW: Black SideWall
  • WSW: White SideWall
  • OWL: Outline White Lettering
  • RWL: Raised White Lettering
  • VSB: Vertical Serrated Band
  • BSL: Black Serrated Letters

Unfortunately on this size tire rack did not have a black letter tire. Due to the tread design it really can't be flipped unless you want the tread opposite of designed. I guess I will have to deal with the white letters.

You guys think 275/65/18's would be a good size to go with? No rubbing or any other issues with a 2" lift?

that doesn't really sound right. If that were the case, you could just put the tires on the wheels on the other side and then the white letters would be inside.

That would be true for every tire but the wrangler mt with Kevlar. The tread is not uniform on both sides and is not suppose to be run but one way. Check it out on discount tire.
