Slightly bigger, factory on the TH are 245/65 these are 245/70. Just barely no rubbing so absolute max size that can fit. Cant really answer on tje handling yet as have only done the 2km from tyre shop back to work and need to fix the tyre pressures as they are way up. Noticeably louder than the stock Yokahama SUV they come with but was expecting that as I had the Duratracs on the JK.

Went for a spin up some corrogated dirt then sand then rocks etc on the way to Harrys Hut for those that know the area. Stayed in auto mode most of the way but dropped into sand/mud mode for a stretch of steeper windy loose dirt and it drive beautifully. Was much smoother thand the JK over the same stretch and seemed more stable on the loose windy dirt too. Loved it though the missus was jot to keen on the road noise. Maybe a little less agressive would have been better but I just love these in the sand and will be towing a 1 tonne camper so the added sidewall grip makes a huge difference in the soft stuff.

Now just need a little lift and some rock rails and I will be even happier
