What "wire" are you referring to?
I wouldn't do that GY.
Not sure why you mention "rubbing"? There isn't any with the 265/65x18 on a fully stock LR3.
A proper tire will be more reliable off road. All of the ones I listed are perfectly suitable for fire roads and light double track/off road.
I may not have been clear. I am looking at 265 but the 285 tires are also attractive. I thought 18" rims would be the end of it but there are so many choices in tires. I am looking for a more aggressive tire than a touring tire. This is my backup vehicle now and I may start getting it more dirty!
Obviously a 285 will have occasional rubbing and the sensor wire needs to be moved as well as the heater hose. a 265 I assumed would just fit. 255 being the OEM size.
The new kevlar all terrain adventure GY seems to be a replacement for the silent armor, with some improvements. Is there a problem with that line? I have read only positives about the newer GY.

I know the OEM wranglers are terrible but the duratrac, silent armor, and adventure kevlar all see to get good reviews. Duratrac being too noisy, the SA/ AT Adventure being quieter.
