    Hmm.... I guess I'm still confused as to how the rears would rub, since they aren't turning.

    Good question on the front, wondering that myself.

    As the axle articulates up, the tires gets closer to the shock

    I suppose you're talking about, say if the right wheel is being stuff upwards while the left one drops, such as happens when wheeling? Makes enough sense lol.

    They handled really well. I drove on a couple curvy, hilly and unplowed roads and didn’t spin out or slip once.

    I've wondered the same about 255/80-17s with .75", 1", or 1.25" spacers on stock suspension and wheels. Hope someone has some insight here

    No issues...no rub....

    The ONLY thing I may do is sipe the tires.

    The rationale on my end is that the "traction" on these is NOT like a dedicated snow tire. I wont lie, with 4wd its good, however, it is OK but siping the tires would make it that much better...

    Has anyone siped the tires?

    I think that is the next step. Tires work but siping may give us the added traction. Thoughts?

    Buy tires with a triple snow peak rating. Don't cut your own rubber, something happens you're on the hook for it.

    Is there a 255/80/16 with the mountain snowflake rating?

    Interested as well, haven't found any so far because they are all Mud tires and Mud tires suck in the snow. They evacuate mud/snow, best traction in snow comes from siping and holding snow in... snow stick to snow!

    If anyone finds one let me know... only reason I didn't go 255/85/16 or 255/80/16 was due to this :(

    Just get some snow tires as well. Problem solved. Also even regular ATs won’t hold a candle to real snow tires.

    True, my Falken AT3W's rock in snow, way better than a BFG AT KO but dedicated snow tires are a whole level up

    The toyo m55 comes in 255/85r16 and it has the snowflake rating. It’s expensive though.

    Until there's a wreck and the insurance guy notices your tires are cut. Then it's an issue.
