It’s time for new tires on my JKUR and I’d like to stay somewhat factory (255/75r17 or 255/80r17). I like the look and capabilities of a mud terrain tire and have gotten 80k miles out of my current KMs (still have tread but are old and cracking). I’m looking at the BFG KM3, Yokohama G003, and General Grabber X3 tires. Do any of them run small or tall? Any pics of them installed? Thoughts?

BFG run small, especially on larger sizes.
@j3ff3ry_j33p is a big fan of G003's.

Snout,

That’s what I’m concerned about. I didn’t know if BFG’s smaller sizes ran small like the larger sizes are reported to. The G003s seem to run true to size per some online posts (no first hand knowledge). They also seem to be lighter than the other tires which is also a plus!

Does anyone have any of these tires? Could you share the height measurement for any of these tires installed on factory rims?

I am definitely a BFG guy. For all my rig’s.

Not sure why I missed this. BFG's would run an inch under even if they were an inch tall.
@j3ff3ry_j33p come preach the holy gospel of G003's
