on 6-6.5" BS wheels (stock jeep 16" ones) you can get 245-75-16s on if your suspension isn't sagged and they aren't muds

so when you say they are not muds this means they are like the ordenary car tread tes?  i certanly would mind having some real chunky tyres with the nobly tread on so would that be a poss?

if you go muds stick to 245-70-16 or 235-70-16's otherwise your front bumper will catch
