Yes, 255/80R17s.
I went with them because I wanted a taller tire but wanted to stay with the stock rims and not go to a wider tire (as a narrower track is somewhat of an advantage for many trails in the desert)
Definitely a heavier, stronger tire.
Definitely added height and clearance and fills out the wheel well better than the stock 32" tires (I have a TF leveling lift kit).
Rides differently than the stock KMs, but hard for me to say exactly what at this point.
Plus...
got a great price of $230/tire from 4WD and couldn't pass it up.

I was out of town last week. When I got home today David from alpha expeditions left me some gifts! The list of items are: extension rack for my Gobi, upper rear stabilizer for roof rack, trash-a-roo, AND stickers

Thanks David! Now I need some green Gerry cans to match my trasharoo.

Just wondered. Mine is going to be 1,500 lbs, but with the addition of A/C, fridge etc it will be about 1,700lbs dry, max weight 2,400lbs. I ordered it with electric brakes just because of all the hills in my area. Brake controller is easy to install if you ever need to off the mopar harness.
