Thumbs up Upgraded 4x4 Finally - 285/75R16

I got 'em tonight I finally decided on a Brand and Tire size based on a lot of research, pricing and experience from the people here. I ended up going with the Cooper Discoverer AT in a 285/75R16 on the stock rim on a 98 XLT Reg Cab 4x4. I love 'em so far. WOW it make my truck look like it should. I love the tread design and I was very happy with the price I got. I used to have the stock Wrangler RT/S in a 255/70R16. At first I was thinking about going to the 265/75R16 but I'm glad I went bigger. The only thing left to do is the VSS to make my speedometer correct. Thanks everyone for the help.

Go Big or Go Home!

Thumbs up Hey Silver Bullet

Good job/choice on the tires. When I bought my truck "used" it had the 285's on it already with 740 miles on the odometer so....
I didn't notice the loss of power but,
Did notice shift delays
Did notice the 7 mph slow reading on the speedo,
Did notice the 255's on the other 150's looked pretty puny for a 4x4.

Size matters!
