I am running a P265/75 R15 Goodyear AT/D's on my TJ and the AT/D's are about the same size in diameter as a BFG 32X11.5. The section width of the tire is slightly wider than that of a 9.50.

The part that I like about this size tire is I am only losing 5/8" of ground clearance when compared to a BFG 33X9.50, but it will not rub the fenders when stuffing it in the wheel well of an unlifted Jeep. And it looks really awesome with a 1 3/4" spacer lift as well. Lots of Flex with no need to extend the bumpstops. It will not be as capable as a Jeep modded like Shlingdawgs or Alien's, but it will do well off road.

At Sam's Club, these tires are $100.00 each and provide acceptable off-road performance. The BFG AT/KO's and Pirilli Scorpions clean themseles better in the mud, but these are as good as my old Wrangler Radial P-Metric (RIP) which I considered to be the best all around tire for on and off road performance. (I know some people like BFG's, some like Pirilli, but this is just my opinion.)

KY, thanks for the reply. I'm gonna head to Sam's today and check them out. But I think it might be a litle too Tall for what i want to do right now. Thanks again!

Please note the above statement. They worked just fine with the weight of my winch on the weak SE springs in the front as well.
