Default Tired of tires.

OK, Time to buy some tires. I have a 2 door 08 with the KM's. I'm thinking AT type tires. I have a 1.75 spacer body lift. I would like to go 33" but I can't seem to find any BFG/KO, am I missing something? I don't do hard trails, 6 is about the limit. Lately, I have been just driving easy trials or highway to get where I am going it seems. I still have the 17" wheels, and I might still have to keep them, looking for a wheel in 15", waiting on discount for a reply back, might not be able to afford a complete change yet. So, what do you all think? What tire? I don't want to grind anything for the 15", but, I'm waiting on an email back from them. So, 17" 33" tire?

I absolutely love my 285/70/17 BFG A/T KO tires. They are amazing in everything except sticky mud.

Here's a picture of mine now:

I have a set of RC 1.5" Wheel Spacers that i hot from RC for $118 shipped that I've been using since I had stock tires.

I think in your search you may be missing the AT part.

Here's Discount Tire's link to them:

I'm happy with my MB 72s with Duratracs. Definitely check out those Level 8 wheels and consider Duratracs. Excellent tire

Especially if you get one of the sizes with the extreme tread design. I just got 35x12.50r18 and they look super aggressive for an A/T.

I'm getting a set of 285/70/17's and was wondering what air pressure you all run in them?
