Different tire size

[will_higgins]

I have a 98 Expy and i am getting new tires and want to get something bigger. I have stock 16s with 255 70 16 on them now. They are a pretty NON-off road tire and i cant stand it. I need something that will get me out of the snow. Anyone have any suggestions?

I bought these all season Kellys and had them balanced and installed for $580.00 The have an aggressive tread pattern for snow and water, but are not noisy and ride really nice. My 2 cents...good bang for the buck!

sorry don't have stock size on mine...lol... but just got a set of goodyear silentarmor tires w/kevlar on my dad's 07 grand cherokee and also have seen a lot of people running the general grabber at-2 with great success in the snow.... sure many more will chime in...

also on my fav list.... procomp Ats... the non extreme... they have a snow and ice rating plus good tread wear warranty

as for size with either cranking the torsion bars or trimming the lower valance you can fit 285/75r16s easily... others should chime in soon

Will, you can fit up to 285/75R16's with no issues. There are lots of tires in that size. As for getting something that will do well in the snow, you are after something that has a decently wide space between the lugs. Unfortunately, this also normally is associated with a tire that makes lots of road noise. So, this is a balance. You will also find that most tires that do well in the snow are a softer tire, so, they are not going to wear for a long time. So, this is a balance that you will need to strike.

i went with Yoko Geo At's, 265-75-16's...could have easily put 285's on it with no mods at all.

I have the 17in package on mine and I put those tires on as well. God do I love them. By the way I run a tire shop and sell almost every tire on the market. I would go with the yokohama at's 275/70r16
