    Nobody really makes a metric size in a 15" rim. The 265/75/16, which is about 1" bigger then my current tires, are only $20 more a tire. At least in the wrangler authorities

    Mine are LT C load rated tires. That's all my tires come in. LT tires, of C or E rating for your size. Second gens can fit either 265/75 or 265/70. I'd go with the bigger haha

    Take into account the driving that you will actually doing also. The more aggressive the tire the worse the ride and mpg.

    Yeah all of my tires are LT c load rating with a 6ply. What gears do you have MTopp that will help with the tire size you end up with. Also if you lift it up you may want the biggest you can fit now or want gas and power for now.

    Should be 3.73 Matt. That's ok with the 4.0. Passenger tires seem to wear out more. If you offroad, tow, or haul weight at all I'd go with LT, which are meant for light trucks. And yes aggressive tires usually make mpg worse, but mine stayed the same really. And a taller tire will help highway mpg

    Most all terrains will probably be LT anyway

    So today I replaced a radiator mounting bolt that was missing, replaced my skid plate bolts, and am working on my grill. I also set up a trans fluid exchange for next week and am gonna get my cooler installed at the same time

    Nice! And Ok, I guess I'll try and go 255 or 265/75/16, thanks for your knowledge. My engine temp is always top around 185, I wonder what my trans is. How much was your cooler and would it work on my truck?

    Yeah the 3.73 is fine with the 4.0 unless you go huge with tires or offroad id be happy with that. Passenger tires wear quicker because they tend to have a lower amount of tread to start with.
