Different tires can be quite a bit different in their actual dimensions. I have found the more aggressive for offroad the tire the chunkier the thread and more square it tends to be on the edges, and thus more likely to rub. GY Duratracs are very aggressive for an AT tire, getting close to MTs, while Michelins tend to be a lot "softer" in the corners. I wonder if that may be part of it where one rubs and the other doesn't.
you hit the nail on the head, additionally, my M+S tires are over an inch taller then the OEM 21’s
Good answers. As I've posted in another thread, out here where we live, I hope to put these 275/55/20 Contis on the factory 20s if our Disco ever gets here . . . maybe just sell the [likely] Goodyear Eagle F1s or [perhaps] Pirelli Verdes that will likely come on it?
I really liked those Michelin ATs on my last truck but found them not wanting to unload mud very well. If you could still buy H rated Pirelli ATRs, I would get another set of those. Had great road manners on our Touareg yet performed well running the ClubTouareg Rally at Ouray too. The new Pirelli ATRs may be OK but they are quite a bit more aggressive, almost MT tread. I have been quite happy with the Cooper Discovery AT3s on my Tacoma and the new AT3 4S are rated even better. But, want to give these a try . . . ATR tire but fairly tame. Should have pretty decent road manners yet hold up well out here on the farm and up at 9000 ft in CO.
Tire P O R N!

We have been running these on the 07 LR3. I was shocked at how good of a tire they are. For a mild AT tire they do fantastic, quiet on the road, long lasting and good in the rain/snow.
I am selling my Blizzak tires and rims from my Yukon Denali...If I sell them I'll let you know I have the same problem...takes up space in my garage...
I am new to the forum, but I just came across this post...are they still for sale?
HAVE TO SELL, LOWERING PRICE TO $1200, taking up too much room in the garage LOL
pm If interested

I am in possession of these wheels now.
If you are still interested PM me.
They are now located in Maine
But could get them back down to the VT/NY area pretty easily.
They are in fantastic shape, but I had already committed to buying these (and I honor my commitments) when another set of wheels came up (the ones I really wanted), so these are back up for sale.
Could give a fantastic price on them to get them moved.
