My Commander Post 75
Two weeks ago, had Sears Install Shocks, Struts and New tires.. Thought there might be an issue with the width of the tire. Seeing how i wanted a tire slightly wider then stock.. Sears assured me that the 255/65R17's would fit. But still I informed the shop mechanic to install one tire first (Left front) just to let me take a good at it to see if it would rub the aluminum suspension arm. There was still play between the tire and arm. I could hold my fingers in between the two.
For the past few weeks we have been very please with the ride and handling of the commander. Yet after the installation.. Wife is thinking of doing the lift. (later on after its paid for) and again.. We know where to take the Jeep to have the lift installed.
So we've opted for the Michelin LTX M/S2 255/65R17's tires are mounted on stock middle grade (aluminum) rims. The tires and new stiffer Monroe "Reflex" shocks/struts set the jeep up about 3/4 inch higher..

I would go back to Sears and have them wash that blue crap off of my tires. It will look even better then.Originally Posted by OurJeepLife

I considered the Cooper Discoverer STT tires when having these installed, but decided I didn't want to drive a howling log truck around.

not hardcore...just stupid enough to try the same trails as my friends with the 4 & 6" lifted Cherokees and YJ's

Don't feel bad, I am just as bad on that & I know that I have not learned and will try again. LOL
When I tell my Brother or GF that I will go wheeling that they say ok don't forget the bodyshops TN lol
Theres a trail that I have broke 2 trucks on and still want to go back try to finish with the commander LOL
I know I will never learn lol
I have the Mud Terrain Radial SXT tire's size is 267/65-17 with 1.5" spacers all around, along with the Rough Country lift.
The spacers as the same for the rest is to attempt to prevent rubbing. I do get a slight rub when in reverse the stearing wheel is turned to the right, but that is because I have not trimmed my fender wheelwell & do not want to.

It does say trail rated on the saide...it just doesn't say how bad of a trail it is rated for or how gutsy (stupid) the person driving the trail is
