Most 15 inch tyres are only load range c or maybe d. Most 16 and 17 inch offroad tyres are load range e.
Load range e is arguably too high for a jk. It can be a struggle to get appropriate tyres in lower load ranges
I really want a 255 75 17 like is a factory fit for the rubicon in the USA. Load range c but only available in km1. As a km2 or the new bfg at pattern i think they would be a great balance between economy handling etc and off road ability. Probably a bit small for some people's preference.
