I would do a 275/60 unless you plan on going lower, here is 275/60 on a 3/4


When i go lower i will step down to dezert1500's size.

Hey 95 bright teal- How do you like those Michelins. I was considering Michelins in either the cross terrain or latitude tour. Is any one running staggered on 17'.

They ride nice, but i have seen bad reviews on tread wear, and they are pretty dry. I only paid 200 mounted so i dont really care.
When i replace them i plan on running a 255/60 up front, 275/60 on the back.

dezert1500 has staggered sized tires my old 18's were staggered also.

Yeah either 255/60 on the front or 245/65. Definitely going with 275/60 on the rear.

Here's 245/65, that's what I used to have all around before. Should give an idea.






Here's ride height. They did this up front. New tires don't rub and I replaced the liners.
