i know some dealers dont fix the mods because the do not like repeat customers or provide customer service at all but some dealers "dont see the mods" and do waranty work no probs. if you are not going to like the answer, dont ask the question.

I went with Mickey Thompson ATZ's in 265/75/r16 on the stock rim.
I reckon they look unreral personally, dont' have a pic sorry.
I have the 3.21 gears also, and they go just fine, I'm really happy with it.
Be well worth checking out the Mickey's I reckon.
They are a 70% sand/road and 30% mud tyre, so the tread has a bit of aggressiveness to it and looks great, but not too much that it will effect mileage etc. Its given my 4 door renegade a much beefier look.
I got $150 trade in on each of the old tyres too so I was stoked.

HI Bert

heres the 265/75 R16's. They look better. I didn't have the stock wheels on for long enough to compare, but getting just under 11l/100km 50% city driving. My gut feeling is there has been some loss of fuel economy around 5-10%, but since it is the first 2 tanks the motor isn't fully run in.

Hey bert, I have put the 265/75 R16's on our JK its the petrol 5 speed manual. The tires are perelli Scorpian All Terrains. I noticed very little difference between these and the 245s that were on it. The JK still drives real nice plenty of pick up and go. I like the Look it gives it now a big difference makes it sit much nice and a fair bit higher on the road. If you want anymore pictures just ask mate.
