Default Would you make an even trade for these tires?

This is a re-post but I figured I would try again since some of my info was wrong. My Gf's dad is looking for some p265/70/17's for his 4wd Durango. He wants to give me 4 Cooper Discovery ATR's that are p285/70/17 for my Rams p265/70/17 GoodYear Wranglers. Heres some pics let me know what you think and if its worth it? Also I measured my wranglers and they were only 30" high. The coopers were 32.2" high does this mean I will get a 2" increase in height?


Thanks

You will only get a 1" increast in height on the truck.

It's up to you, sure if he wants your goodyears, that are absolute garbage, and the wear is about even, sure.

The height increase will be about 1". From what I've read, the Coopers are a bit better tire than the Wrangler, but I personally don't have any experience with the Wrangler tire. I have had bad experiences with most of the GY tires I've owned. The only exception is the Triple Treds on my 300C. They are an outstanding tire in every respect. Apples to oranges, though.
