19 Sahara here.
Right now I’m leaning to the E load rating 275/70/18 K02’s but we’re open to other brands and taller-than-stock recommendations. My only reservation is possibly not knowing a downside that may sway us another direction.
We drive a lot of highway but want more capability that the K02 would give when we take our Jeep on trails. How’s the ride? Tire pressure recommendations?
What should we expect in regards to handling? Significant difference in behavior?
From what I’ve found the 275/70/18 K02 is about 20lbs more than the stock 255/70/18 Dueler AT. The rear tire carrier is rated for 85lbs total iirc so that would put it right at the max if the tire is 59lbs and the wheel is about 25 I believe. If that’s right, I guess we’re good to go.
I’m considering a Rubicon takeoff lift if needed but if it here’s no rubbing without taking off the sway bar end links, I may just leave it as is but it would be nice to know if there is rubbing at full, disconnected, articulation just in case. Does anyone have any feedback in that regard?
Thanks for your time and guidance with this decision.
