Default Tires

BGF made a 255/75/17 in a KM1, Jeep shipped them on the Rubicon. A guy in perth had a set for sale recently, but not to sure if other brands are available.

A wider tyre doesn't really interest me, I don't run in sand and I had a good run on 7.50/16s on my troopcarrier for over 10 years. What I'd really like is the tallest tyre possible that will fit on the standard rim and not stick outside the guards.
