Goodyear Silent Armour

[dantheman1]

Does anyone know if a 275/65/18 goodyear wrangler silent armour will fit under the LR3's wheel arches w/o rubbing? Should I just stick to the 265/60/18? Details here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+SilentArmor

Thanks

It won't rub unless you drive it.

Factory tire = 30.51 inches tall
265/65R18 BFG = 31.55 inches tall. Hits bump in front part of rear wheel well when articulated, or hitting bumps in access mode. Eventually, it clearances the obstruction.
275/65R18 = 32.06 inches tall. See above and then some.

dantheman1....the only problem you could have is rubbing in that size @ 32.1in it will be very close. I have the 265 60 18 and the are just fine at 30.5. great tires IMHO . General also has a new tire called the AT Grabber that is an exact replacement for the stock tires HTH
