Opinions and experiences with 4x4 tires

305/70/17 fit perfectly? When I had that size in the wranglers M/T I needed 1/2" spacers. Well, prolly 3/8" woulda done it but all I could find was 5/16" and 1/2". Tried the 5/16" and was too close for comfort for me. Sure there was a little gap, but it seemed it wasn't enough if the front end were to bounce up and slam back down a bit, compressing the tire, causing it to rub on the upper control arm.

So far the Nitto's take trump. I may be mistaken, but I think they are the only ones that had multiple suggestions period...if nothing else, they def. have the most suggestions. I looked into them and around here, they are about the same price as anything else in it's category. So all the good reviews here, and the price...so far I am leaning to them...but it'll be a few months before anything happens...so I apologize if I keep bringing this thread back to life every now and again, I just don't wanna spend this kinda money blindly, especially when I have this resource for reviews...not just review on the tire itself, but reviews on trucks mostly just like mine

I have Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors. Quiet on the highway, excellent traction year round in the mud snow and rain and they have Kevlar in them so your not forever plugging holes in them.
A little more expensive than OEM stuff but well worth the money. Oh and they are rated to last 50,000 miles [80,000km] under normal wear and tear.

??????????????????????
A mileage drop if going from a soccer mom type tire for sure, any time you add traction and deeper tread you will lose a mpg or two. But "lucky to get 30k", I couldn't disagree more! I now have 13k on the set on my Grand Cherokee and they are not even showing any wear yet. This is a VERY popular tire in my hunting club circle of friends and I personally know guys with 50k+ on them on their trucks.
They don't wear like Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek tires, but they don't cost $300 a tire either...
