I had 245/75/16 as stock, which comes out to almost 31" (well, 30.5" to be precise), the 225 would be just over 29" in that same ratio...here's a great way to compare tire sizes, it's a graphic size calculator (oh, bee-have!):

Might help you in comparing/contrasting different styles/sizes/etc.
I think you'll do great with the 245's for just the reasons you said...and in any case, just having a Mud tire will help...remember, though, they are a bit louder on the highway, although it lets you know you're in a Jeep!!

Hi everybody I'm new here and just got my 09jk-x
and I'm iching to get diff tires. I have the 225/75/16's and I'm looking for something thats got a little more beef to it. Something I won't have to worry about rubbing w/o a lift. Anybody heard of Dean tires, I think their make by Cooper.

Anybody heard of Dean tires, I think their make by Cooper.I looked up Dean tires on google. They make a pretty good looking mud terrain. The Wild Cat Ext. It's got an E (10 ply) rating. The size I'm looking an LT245-75-16 is very reasonable. Shipping is $20 less than Tire Rack from a company called Vulcan Tire in PA.
I see they are made in the US by Cooper.
Are there any forum members who are familar with Dean tires?

Someone once said, "The stock SR-A's are like glazed donuts in mud."
It's the best quote I've ever read about them and is exactly why I switched to ProComp Xtreme M/T tires. Here in Kentucky, you will find mud when it hasn't rained in a month of Sundays.
Famous Kentucky mud too, horrible stuff.
