max tire size for 08 V8 pathy no lift

Postby V8Pathy » Thu Sep 17, 2015 2:46 pm

time for new shoes. Stock 2008 V8 pathy SE 4x4.
Thinking of going BFG A/T TA KO2 275/65/18 or Cooper discoverer ST maxx 275/65/18
Stock 18" rims.

Is that the max size I can go without rubbing or minimal rubbing ?

thanks.

if you got pics, even better.

you can go 33 or so. I ran my 285-70-17 (32.8") with just the melt mod in the front before I put my lift on. no issues

curious as to why you'd run those bfgs. do you primarily drive offroad or on trails? they're just about the worst AT tires on the market, particularly on pavement

I'm open to suggestions. They are the most common tires I see around here that's why I picked them.

Looking for tires I can take to the desert in mojave when going camping/ATV/hunting etc..but they still need to be good enough for freeway driving.

I'd recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3, as it seems to do the best on several tests that I have seen. If I were replacing my tires today, that's what I would go with. I know a few guys who run them and love them as well.

Personally, I went with the Toyo Open Country AT2. They do very well under all conditions and I really have no major complaints about them at all.

A lot of guys really like the Firestone Destination AT, although personally I'd only go with those if I could get the Coopers or the Toyos.
