Default WH Grand Tyre Choice

I have just spent 85,000 trouble free Kms on 245/75 Bridgestone Wrangler Silent Tracks - the same tyre once used on the JK series. My WH is stock except for a 2" lift, King springs and after market shocks.
I found the Bridgestones to be quiet, long lasting, trouble free, and with adequate but not excessive grip.
It is time to replace them and I would be happy with the same or the equivalent, but today the 245/75 Bridgestone is dearer than both the 235/80 or 255/65 Bridgestone equivalent.
Although I understand that 255's will fit I found that my 245's initially rubbed on the chassis rail on full lock. Recommendations please. Thanks.

If it were me Mickey Thompson ATZ, best tyre, had 3 sets on different Jeep’s, no punctures, no leaks and never completely worn them out.

Unfortunately this time round due to size I’m putting on the WH Mickey Thompson don’t make the size I’m after after a lot of research I went with Nitto ridge grappler 295/70/18, I’m yet to install them and see how they go.

I second the Mickey Thompson ATZp3 had them on my TJ for 4 years before I sold it never had an issue, pretty quiet on the road for an aggressive all terrain. I will be buying them again for the Grand. They come in 245/70, 265/70 or 285/70 in the 17 inch rim.
