How ridiculous does the liberty look if ya put the 2.5" lift w/o getting the bigger tires right away? And also, if ya get the 265/75 16 tires, will they fit on the stock rims?

you will see that it does not look that much different..
and I had the 215/70's on it..

Yes, you can use stock rims with 265/75's..

btw.. nice looking Jeep.. that was the color I wanted..

Thanks for all your help. I probably wont go with the MTRs and just get the ATS instead but ya never know .. I may change my mind :) I love the way your jeep looks w/the lift .. I'm guessing mine will look the same. Thanks again!

Sweet looking Liberty. I wasn't so sure about those but you guys that have lifted them have made me change my mind. I like those a lot.

As for the the wrangler AT/S. I used to run those on my other jeeps and even had a pair on this jeep. I LOVE GOODYEAR tires, but have had lots of problems with the AT/S. They are a HEAVY tire that rides pretty rough on the road. I had a lot of trouble getting them balanced. They always seemed to have a little wobble to them and would have to be balanced every 10,000 or so miles. However, I've yet to find a tire that RIPS through the snow like the AT/S.


I was never a BFG fan whatso ever and then I ended up getting a deal on the All Terrains I've got now and WOW. They're VERY smooth on the road and quite. I've never had a problem with balancing. My only complaint with the BFG's is living in Vail, they do not rip the snow like the ATS's did, but as an every day tire, I like them much better.

Hey thanks for the advice. I don't think I'm goign to need a snow tire down here in Houston so I'll definitely rethink the AT/S's. So you really like the BFG All Terrains? I'll check into those .. thanks!
