My little 2dr JK got new 245X16X75 E rated Duratracks. I run 35 psi and aside from slightly more noise from tread howl they ride as nice as the original supplied "street" tires.
I did not go huge on tires because while I do go exploring and fire roading and dirt roads I have to travel on road to get there and I simply cannot do with the mpg hit that larger tires would give. As it is I see about a 1.0 mpg reduction but I got some of that back with the "reflash" recall somehow.
I will be adding a small (2 inch or so) lift and possibly the Spidertrax spacers, but I like the tires and I like the size on my Jeep and I like the ride and handling thus far.
BTW, I also have the same tires but in a 265X16X75 on my Tacoma 4dr TRD/OR. I installed them about a year ago, similar results. Seem to be a good tire though I am really a BFG person and feel like a traitor, lol.

COOZ, can you post up some more pics, Im debating between this 295/65r18 or the 275/70r18 that so many other poeple have. Im curious to see if the 295 sticks out past the fenders with the 1.5" wheel spacers, that is what I will be doing also. Also, you dont get any rubbing with your set up do you?

Dang how are you guys with e rated tires running such high pressures.
I am rolling e rated tires, 33s, all around at 24 psi. That was optimum for even wear, and soft ride.
