I miss my Kumho MT. Great all around tire, with the only downside being that they are directional.
I bumped to 37 MTR-k's and am somewhat dissapointed with the on road ride quality(I'm ok with the noise.)

Kelly Safari is the best for the $. The cheepest around Charlotte asfar as I can find. if you find something cheeper then take the deal. I am just letting you know that you wont be disapointed with the Kellys.

I need help with some numbers: I will buy the Open Country AT2 but don't know between 265/70R17 or 285/70R17 (my stock tires are 255/75R17 with Moab original wheels).

1) the 265 will turn more every miles/Km to do the same distance, so does that make any good or bad, do I need some calibration or is it fine?

2) same question about the 285, they will turn less every miles/Km so is there a lost of power or anything bad about that size? New calibration or fine?

3) do anybody know for sure if 285/70R17 with stock Moab (unlimited sport) and no wheel spacers and .75" coil spacers will rub??

4) how much mpg can I loose with the 285 (more or less)? I guess the 265/70R17 doesn't make any difference on mpg?

Thanks a lot guys
